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.
