33. No, because there could be a Republican elected as Lt. Governor someday.

But give a Governor an option to resign before the vote is certified, if he chooses, and allow the Lt. Gov to take office. If the Gov likes his Lt. Gov, this would be a way to avoid this fiasco, but still let a recall proceed if the Governor didn't have confidence in the Lt. Gov.
