I’m not sure how you haven’t head about this.

Beshear argued those laws may conflict with the Kentucky Constitution.

“It says I appoint all state officers when there’s a vacancy. The question is, does that apply to federal offices? Well, before there was ever a law in Kentucky on how this would work, multiple appointments were made by governors, assumingly under that provision,” he said.

Again, you’re clearly missing something here if the governor himself is claiming the power to fill vacancies by appointment.
