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.

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.
