The debate centered on whether Neely's resignation and induction as governor occurred simultaneously, creating no interval for Holt to act. Lawyers argued if the day’s contract began earlier, Neely’s January 13 appointment of Rosier might predate Holt’s choice of Martin by a fraction of a second. Public policy and public interest were raised by both sides, with Neely warning against appointing out-going governors to posts and supporters citing voters’ endorsement of Neely’s senatorial succession plan.
