In Michigan, statewide executives and state Senators get two terms, state Representatives get three terms, and then you're banned for life. Partial terms count toward the first term for both state legislators and statewide officials if the partial term is more than half of the original term. At the governor level, this has not happened since Michigan passed term limits in either 1990 or 1992 (I can't recall the year), as the last time a Lieutenant Governor was forced to step in was in 1969 after George Romney resigned and Bill Milliken took over. He served until 1983.

My own state representative got recalled after a lengthy effort by the state teacher's union in late 2011. At first, the state GOP scoffed at the recall effort until it actually succeeded. The replacement election was held in February 2012, and after a huge moneybomb by the Michigan GOP, Republican Joe Graves won the seat from then until January 2013. As a result, he was allowed to be elected to three full terms thereafter.
