confirmation under Section 4.23. It should also be noted
that the governor under Section 4J3 has the power to call
the Senate into special session if he wants immediate
consideration of an appointment.
I think I will read this section in toto because
it is a very interesting device and allows for a great
deal of flexibility at the same time preserving the
Senate's right to get its advice and consent.
"In case of a vacancy occurring in any office
which the governor has power to fill only with the advice
and consent of the Senate, he shall appoint some suitable
person to said office. If such appointment is made withjn
the first sixty days of a regular session of the General
Assembly, the governor shall submit the nomination of
the person thus appointed, or of some other person in his
place, to the Senate. If such appointment is made at
any other time, the governor shall submit the nomination to
the Senate at the beginning of the next regular session of
the General Assembly.
"The commission of any such appointtee shall
continue in force until the end of the next regular session
