Vacancies in the U. S. Senate are filled by appointment of the Governor, and the appointed Senator serves until the next election that is more than two years and six months away from the date of the vacancy. In other words, if a vacancy occurs after the specific day in May of an election year which marks the 2-year 6-month cutoff, the appointment would not be filled at the election held that fall, but the appointee would serve until the certification of the election two years following. The law does not provide for nominations from any committee.
inbreeding. lots and lots of inbreeding going back many years.
Term limits would be the only solution in getting rid of the deadbeats. As long as they bring home the pork, they will be screwing the rest of the country until they die. They even get a lot of votes when they are in jail or dead. The answer is 2 terms max!
