    The governor of any state cannot appoint a member to the House of Representatives when a vacancy occurs before the expiration of a term. All a governor can do is call a special election; the Constitution is clear about that. Article I, Section 2, Clause 4:

    When vacancies happen in the Representation from any state, the executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies.

    I don’t remember this story-line, but I remember Wilson was a Republican, more likely to appoint Clyde than Ginny.

    Lacey was a Republican. Somehow I don’t see Ginny that way.

    I don’t even REMEMBER CLyde as a Congressman,and I thought I was an authority on the strip.

    DOn’t tell anybody about the chrome stallion on the hood.

    ALso,the line to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth in nine hours long,by conservative estimate.

    Would anybody wait 9 MINUTES to pay their respects to Trump,Abbott,or De Santis?

    This is satire. It is the reason you read Doonesbury in the first place. Why can’t you just laugh & enjoy the comic? (A republican governor would not appoint a black person to congress even if he/she could.)

    Oh heck. I’d successfully managed to erase Pete Wilson from my memory. Now I have to do it all over again.

    I just remembered the “full circle” on this.

    When Lacey won her seat,it was A 3-WAY RACE BETWEEN HER,gINNY,AND INCUMBENT Phil Ventura.

    So now Ginny’s boyfriend gets to replace Lacey.At the timeof the first contest,Clyde was a….well,the polite word is“lounge lizard”
