the majority leader of the new york state senate is elected by the majority of the members of the new york state senate. the position usually coincides with the title of temporary president of the state senate, who presides over the session of the state senate if the lieutenant governor of new york (who is ex officio president of the state senate) is absent. the temporary president of the state senate becomes acting lieutenant governor for the remainder of the unexpired term in case of a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor. in case of a vacancy in the offices of both the governor and lieutenant governor at the same time, the temporary president of the state senate becomes acting governor. if the double vacancy occurs until three months before the mid-term state elections, a special election for governor of new york and lieutenant governor is held. if the double vacancy occurs later, the temporary president of the state senate acts as governor until the end of the unexpired term. the temporary president of the state senate retains both his majority leadership and his seat in the state senate while acting as lieutenant governor or governor.
