When a vacancy occurs in Congress, the U.S. Constitution authorizes the governor of the affected state to appoint a replacement. This is outlined in Article I, Section 2, which states that state legislatures can empower the governor to fill such vacancies. However, the specific process for appointments can vary by state, as some states have laws requiring a special election to fill the vacancy instead.
