Question 2
The Succession to the Office of Governor Act amendment clarifies who will become the acting Governor of Virginia in the event of a sudden death, resignation, or other emergency circumstance. It adds the acting Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, President pro tempore of the Virginia Senate, and majority leader of the Virginia Senate to the list of officials that would succeed the Governor in such an instance (after the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, the Attorney General of Virginia, and the Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, which were already part of the list of succession). The amendment also allows the Virginia General Assembly to temporarily waive certain eligibility requirements in order for the Attorney General, Speaker, or acting Speaker to serve as acting Governor in the event of an emergency.
