Governor doesn't fill vacancy in House of Representatives by appointment.
In some states they absolutely do. That's how we ended up with Gillibrand in NY, and AZ did Jon Kyl and Martha McSally. Mind you, those were Senate appointments, but the mechanism is the same.
It's dependent on the state's constitution.
This is incorrect. The constitution is very clear on this. Senate vacancies can be temporarily filled by gubernatorial appointments but house vacancies can be filled only by election.
You're right... I was thinking of when Cuomo appointed someone to "take over" Louise Slaughter's office (NY CD-25) until the special election.
I did not realize it was a sham appointment and he had no voting rights.
My state's Gov can do that and has done it.
