He had warned the state would lose all clout in Washington if the state's two US Senators (the other being Daniel Inouye), both of whom are over 80 years old, leave office within a short time of each other. If a Senator were to die, Hawaii election law requires that the governor appoint a replacement of the same party.Maskell Jack Beginning and end of the Terms of United States Senators chosen to fill Senate vacancies https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/Vacancies.pdf Congressional Research Service https://web.archive.org/web/20120401185007/https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/Vacancies.pdf April 1, 2012 January 20, 2010 dead Case's words would prove prescient, as Akaka would retire just over two weeks after Inouye's death in 2012.
