problems of gubernatorial disability and succession.
.
Section 4.06 deals with the narrow problem of what happens
',
when a governor-elect fails to assume office. When the ;
governor-elect is disqualified, resigns or dies following
his election, the lieutenant governor-elect succeeds to
the office for the full term. When the governor-elect
fails to take office for some other reason, for example,
illness, the lieutenant governor-elect serves as acting
governor until the governor-elect takes office or until
the office 'shall become vacant.
The distinction between succession to the
office of governor and service as acting governor is
developed in section 4.10. A procedure through which the
office of governor may be declared vacant is established in
section 4.08. The provisions dealing with the order of
succession when there is no lieutenant governor to fulfill
the roll assigned to him are set forth in section 4.10.
Section 4.07, Lieutenant Governor as Acting
Governor:
This section etablishes two situations in ich
the lieutenant governor shall »rve as acting governor.
