Alaska Legislators are questioning whether Gov. Sarah Palin can appoint the state's No. 2 elected official without their input.
When Palin's resignation takes effect, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will automatically become the state's chief executive and vacate the office of lieutenant governor.
In her resignation announcement Friday, Palin said Commissioner Craig Campbell of the Department of Military and Veteran's Affairs would "assume his role as lieutenant governor."
