@Expecting_Words There was an effort to recall my governor last year, because GQP wanted her replaced with the Republican Secretary of State (theoretically next in line.)
Only the SoS wasn't elected - she acceded to her post when the elected SoS died in office. And our state constitution says only people in the line of succession who were ELECTED to their position are eligible.
So if Gov had been recalled, it would have been Democratic state Treasurer as next in line.
