What happens to Sen. Bob Menendez's seat after his conviction?

Associated Press  

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez on Tuesday became one of just a handful of U.S. senators to be convicted of a crime while in office — and the first ever found guilty of being an agent of a foreign government — raising questions about whether he will be able to serve out the remainder of his term. Within minutes of the jury’s verdict, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had called for Menendez’s resignation, while New Jersey Gov. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Senator Bob Menendez has been convicted of all charges, including bribery, and the Senate Majority leader says he needs to go. Curtis Bashaw, the Republican candidate for the seat, already linked Tuesday’s corruption verdict to “the Democratic machine.” And Murphy said shortly after the Menendez indictment was unsealed last year and before her short-lived Senate candidacy that he didn’t see a scenario where he would appoint her to the seat.
