Kaine can only appoint senators, which he may have to do if Warner leaves before his term is up next year. Congressmen are replaced in special elections.
Thanks! I realize now that you have said it, that I knew that! DUH!!! It is in the Constitution, I do believe!
You are correct Gov Kaine does however get to set the date of the election, but right now my thought and prayers are with Rep Davis’s family.
