If there is a vacancy in the Senate the Governor will appoint a temporary senator until the next election.
The 17th amendment of the U.S. Constitution specifies that when a vacancy occurs in the U.S. Senate, the Governer of that state shall appoint a temporary Senator to fill the vacancy pending the next election.
The 17th Amendment to the US Constitution requires that vacancies in the senate be filled by special election. In most states, the state governor can appoint an interim senator to fill a vacancy in the state's senate seat until a special election is held. However, in Oregon and Wisconsin the seat remains vacant until a replacement is elected.
no Whenever a vacancy occurs in either House, the Governor is required to "issue writs of election", starting the process for a special election to fill the vacancy. During the election process, the Governor may, if the state legislature has passed a law allowing him/her to do so, appoint someone to temporarily fill only a Senate vacancy until a replacement is elected, but House vacancies always remain vacant until a replacement is elected.

The President can never appoint someone to fill a Senate vacancy. The U.S. Constitution allows the Governor of the state to which the vacant seat is entitled to make a temporary appointment to fill the seat until a special election can be held, but only if the state legislature has passed a bill allowing him/her to do so. Actually there is one Senate vacancy for which the President appoints a replacement: the U.S. Vice President, who constitutionally is also the President of the Senate. Vice presidential appointments require the approval of both houses of Congress.

The president can negotiate treaties, but they must be ratified by the senate to go into effect. He can appoint ambassadors, and they also must be approved by the senate.
