Mr. Paterson’s current office would remain unfilled until the 2010 election, as the constitution makes no provision for filling a vacancy in the lieutenant governor’s office. Under those circumstances, Mr. Bruno would “perform all the duties of the lieutenant-governor” until a new one is elected in 2010. Those duties include acting as governor when the nominal office-holder is out of the state.
The state treasurer
That is when the government takes over and becomes a nanny state.
1. State and local election officials conduct national elections in each State. These elections are financed with State and local funds and are largely regulated by State laws.2. The legal process by which aliens can become citizens, called naturalization, takes place most often in State, not federal, courts.3. Those who commit federal crimes and are sought by the FBI are often picked up by State and local police officers and then held in local jails.
I believe that is when the federal government takes on the debts of a state(s) in order to better manage/pay it off.
The political community takes shape through the convergence of cultural political boundaries, transforming the state into the state of all its citizens.

The Secretary of State assumes the power of the Governor when the current Governor dies, resigns, or leaves office for other reasons. The current Secretary of State in Arizona is Jan Brewer, a Republican. The current Governor of Arizona is Janet Napolitano, a Democrat, who is currently being considered to become part of President-Elect Obama's cabinet.
A governor takes care of a state.
lieutenant governor
The Chief Justice of The High Court of the same State takes over the Charge.
The governor decides whether to sign or veto the bill.
If the governor is unable to act, the lieutenant governor typically assumes the duties of the governor. If the lieutenant governor is also unable to act, a specific line of succession outlined in the state's constitution or laws would come into play to designate the next official to take over.
According to the Idaho Lieutenant Governor's website (refer to the link, below), the Lt. Gov. would take over as Governor in the event that the Governor leaves the State or is incapacitated or worse.
If the governor of Georgia dies, the lieutenant governor automatically assumes the role of governor. This succession is outlined in the state's constitution. If both the governor and lieutenant governor are unable to serve, the line of succession continues to the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives.
Many states modeled their own governments after the federal example, so the path a bill takes in order to become law is similar at the state and national levels. Bills are proposed and voted on by both Houses of Congress and are sent to the President at the federal level or the Governor at the state level to be signed if they are passed by both houses. They are then either signed into law or vetoed.
The Lieutenant Governor takes over if the Governor cannot complete the term.
It depends on where. In the U. S., the length of a governor's term is two years in New Hampshire and Vermont and four years in every other state.
