Specifically, in the event a Senator does not make a nomination for one of the specified reasons, the nominations must be made by the other Senator from the state concerned. In the event a Representative does not make a nomination for one of the specified reasons, the Senators from the state of the congressional district concerned must make the nomination, with nominations divided equally among Senators and any remainder going to the senior Senator from the state.
