NJT Under Guadagno (Hypothetical)

The NJ Assembly will bring up articles of impeachment on Governor Christie for his Bridgegate Scandal by the end of the month. If he is removed from office by the senate, what changes can NJT expect with Guadagno as governor?

There is no way , he will be removed from office. If he does then Obama should have been removed 100 times by now.

I wouldn't be so sure that Guadagno will replace him. It's possible that he'll be replaced by either Bob Menedez or Linda Stender. Only time will tell.

New Jersey State Constitution, as amended, effective January 17, 2006
