Theory based on nothing: once the tax bill vote is settled, Franken resigns.

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Dec 1 '17, 16:45

This is based on knowing nothing about how Minnesota fills its vacancies (I assume the governor appoints someone to fill out the term, since that’s what happened when Wellstone died) or how Franken leaving now would change the number of votes needed.

Responses:

Varies by state, but yes, in MN the governor would assign a replacement to serve out remainder of Franken's term. -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 16:49
