Congress is killed. What happens?

[Figueira]

Governors would appoint temporary senators and schedule special house elections.

Some states doesn't permit senatorial appointments (like Oregon or Wisconsin).

I had no idea until now. According to NCSL, 36 States permit gubernatorial appointments.

If you scroll down you'll see that all but 5 states have gubernatorial appointments.

Here's the likely composition of the senate if that scenario happens:

Republicans - 62
Democrats – 28
Unknown – 2*
Vacant – 8

*–Not sure which way Walker would go. I could see him appointing Mallott, or he could appoint an independent.

Edit: RI does not have gubernatorial appointments. Changed map/totals.

i dont think charlie, scott, and rauner would go party line, prolly one of each

Oh, Baker would. And weak liberals would keep making excuses for him.
