YES VIRGINIA…THREE STRIKES AND YOU ARE OUT- THE LINE OF SUCCESSION
Gov. Ralph Northam Democrat
Mr. Northam faces calls for his resignation after a racist photo in his medical school yearbook emerged last week and he admitted he once blackened his face as part of a Michael Jackson costume.
Lt. Gov. Justin E. Fairfax Democrat
Two days later, Mr. Fairfax, the next in line for governor, faced allegations of sexual assault.
Attorney General Mark R. Herring Democrat
On Wednesday, Mr. Herring acknowledged that he put on blackface and wore a wig while an undergraduate at the University of Virginia in 1980.
Speaker of the House of Delegates Kirk Cox Republican
If all three men were to resign without immediate replacements, Mr. Cox would become governor.
If the speaker is ineligible to serve, then a replacement would be chosen by the House of Delegates.
