 Likewise, should both offices become vacant at the same time, the President "pro tempore" acts as governor, with the office of lieutenant governor remaining vacant.Should the presidency "pro tempore" be vacant too, or the incumbent unable to fulfill the duties, the Speaker of the State Assembly is next in the line of succession.The lieutenant governor is elected on the same ticket as the governor, since the 1954 election with a single joint vote cast for both offices, but is nominated separately.
