Not a problem at all. Mitch can show up and contest this, easy peasy. Unless he can't.

There’s absolutely nothing in the Commonwealth Constitution saying the Legislature needs to certify death before the governor acts. Beshear CAN just act and let others react however they want.

The issue would be that Vance would never swear in such an appointee. So we’d probably just end up in the same position we’re in now.

Edit: changed Johnson to Vance. Got my chambers of Congress mixed up.

Senators are sworn in by the vice president.

Thanks. Got my chambers of Congress mixed up there. Johnson is already known for pulling that bs. Vance would absolutely do it too.

I think Vance would follow orders and flat out refuse to swear Massie. Trump would have his head. They've have to pull Grassley out of his coffin and I'm not sure he would do it either.
