Governor/Senate vacancy from different parties?

Congress should limit temporary appointments to 90 days.  It is a travesty that the 17th amendment has resulted in temporary appointments of up to 2 years, when its intent was to allow the People to choose their Senators.  Under the old system of election by the legislature, it would be rare for a legislature to not meet annually so a temporary appointment would in the worst cases not last even a year.
