I have a question- if a Senator/Rep can not fulfill their term in office..

[Rosco T.]

.. the Governer of the state can name a replacement to fill the term till an election can be held, correct?

conversely, can the Governer REMOVE a Senator/Rep of their state if they are behaving in a manner detrimental to the state or it's people???

1. The governor can only replace a senator

he cannot replace a representative.

and I dont think he can remove anybody who has been legally elected.

2. Funny, DeLay came IMMEDIATELY to mind! But

I don't know the answer-

5. .. ahem... was I thinking THAT LOUD??? n/m

8. Why yes, yes you were! : - ) nt

3. NO

And aren't we glad it's that way! I wouldn't want a governor to decide whether a rep or senator is representing the state properly. That's for the voters to determine next time around, unless there are grounds for impeachment.

4. then who brings impeachment against them.. State or Congress?? n/m

6. Congress decides the qualifications of its members

7. Nothing the people of their state can do if they are...

.. bringing dishonor on the state?
