If a Senator dies, resigns, or is expelled before naming cadet nominees for the year, and their replacement isn't sworn in until after the nomination deadline, the state's other Senator makes those nominations instead. This isn't treated as a reallocated nomination slot.

(a) Senators. Suppose a Senator doesn't submit cadet nominations for an academic year as normally required under section 51302(b)(1), because the Senator died, resigned, or was expelled from office — and the Senator's replacement isn't sworn in until after the nomination deadline for that year. In that case, the other Senator from the same state makes those nominations instead. (b) Construction of Authority. Nominations made this way by the other Senator are not treated as taking over that nomination slot permanently. They are simply filling in because the first Senator couldn't submit nominations due to death, resignation, or expulsion, combined with the replacement Senator's swearing-in happening after the deadline.

In the event a Senator does not submit nominations for cadets for an academic year in accordance with section 51302(b)(1) of this title due to death, resignation from office, or expulsion from office, and the date of the swearing-in of the Senator’s successor as Senator occurs after the date of the deadline for submittal of nominations for cadets for the academic year, the nominations for cadets otherwise authorized to be made by the Senator pursuant to such section shall be made instead by the other Senator from the State concerned.

(b)Construction of Authority.—
