An emergency interim successor is one who is designated for
possible temporary succession to the powers and duties, but not the
office, of a legislator. No person shall be designated or serve as
an emergency interim successor unless he may, under the Constitution

duties he is designated to succeed, but no constitutional or
statutory provision prohibiting a legislator from holding another
office or prohibiting the holder of another office from being a
legislator shall be applicable to an emergency interim successor. An
emergency interim successor shall serve at the pleasure of the
legislator designating him or of any subsequent incumbent of the
legislative office.
