Lieutenant governor
The keynote address was given by the Illinois state senator, the United States Senate candidate, and Barack Obama.
The list of succession if something happens to the governor would begin with the lieutenant Governor. If there is no lieutenant governor then it goes from the leader of the senate, the speaker of the house, the state Secretary, the State auditor, the state treasurer, and finally the attorney general are in line for governor.
The Lieutenant Governor presides over the State Senate with a few exceptions.
That would be the "Lieutenant Governor".
No. He served in the Senate, House of Representatives (Speaker for six terms), and Cabinet (Secretary of State) but was not ever a governor.
If both the governor and lieutenant governor are out of state at the same time, the specific procedure for filling the office of governor would depend on the laws and regulations of the particular state. Generally, there are provisions in place that outline the order of succession, which might involve the next in line of succession, such as the president of the state senate or the speaker of the state house.
Linda Lingle is the Governor. James Aiona is the Lieutenant Governor. Colleen Hanabusa is the President of the Senate. Calvin Say is the Speaker of the House.
After the governor, the next in line would be the lieutenant governor. Following this, the law depends on the state. Usually, the line is the governor elect, then the lieutenant governor, and finally the Speaker of the Legislature.
If a governor suddenly dies, the lieutenant governor typically assumes the role of acting governor, as they are next in line according to state succession laws. If there is no lieutenant governor or they are unable to serve, the state constitution or laws may designate another official, such as the president pro tempore of the state senate or the speaker of the state house, to take charge temporarily.
If the governor of Georgia dies, the lieutenant governor automatically assumes the role of governor. This succession is outlined in the state's constitution. If both the governor and lieutenant governor are unable to serve, the line of succession continues to the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives.
