If a senator is appointed president who will replace him?
A senator is never "appointed" president. He may be elected President of the U.S., in which case he must leave the Senate before taking office as President. In this case his successor is selected in accordance with the law of the state from which he came. Some states require a special election to fill the seat very quickly; others permit the Governor to appoint a successor who serves until the next general election (usually 2 years or less away) in which a successor will be elected to serve the reminder of the former senator's term. A senator may also be elected President pro tempore of the Senate. In this case he remains a senator but presides over the Senate in the absence of the Vice President who is also the President of the Senate.
