GP There should be a law in every state that in the event of an elected federal official's death, the governor is not allowed to appoint anyone from the deceased or disabled's immediate family plus one generation up or down from there.
@Gormogons There should be a law that politicians aren’t allowed to have families. They only do it for graft.
@Gormogons I'd say that the governor is only allowed to appoint someonme for 90 days, and an election must be held.
@Gormogons Except for Democrats... which is the way it would be enforced.
@Gormogons These positions aren’t inherited. We aren’t a monarchy. They aren’t royalty.
@Gormogons How about the office defaults to the candidate who got the second most votes in the original election? Now that would be a popcorn worthy meltdown show.
