===Massachusetts=== In [[Massachusetts]], in the event of a vacancy in the governor's office, the lieutenant governor assumes the ''duties'' of the office, but ''not the office'' for the remainder of the term, thus becoming acting governor while retaining the lieutenant governor's office. In 1997, when [[William Weld]] resigned to pursue the ambassadorship to Mexico, [[Paul Cellucci]] took over as acting governor until after his 1998 election as governor, when he assumed office in January 1999. In 2001, when Cellucci resigned to become [[United States Ambassador to Canada]], [[Jane Swift]] became the acting governor until January 2003, when Cellucci's term ended with the inauguration of [[Mitt Romney]].
