Who will control the process?
The Democrat-led Assembly and Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx.
There are 213 seats in the state Legislature, meaning Schneiderman's successor will need 107 votes from lawmakers.
There are 104 Assembly Democrats in the chamber, according to Mike Whyland, a spokesman for Heastie. That's by far the single largest bloc of votes among the legislative conferences and almost a majority on its own.
In a meeting Tuesday morning, Assembly Democrats discussed the legal considerations and logistics of appointing a replacement but did not discuss any individual candidates, Heastie said.
>Will there be an election?
Yes.
The state attorney general position is on the ballot every four years. That includes this November, when a full four-year term will be up for grabs.
Manny Alicandro, a Republican corporate attorney from Manhattan,
announced his bid for the seat Monday, hours before Schneiderman's resignation.
But Republican leaders say others could soon hop into the race, particularly after Schneiderman's exit.
Democrats, meanwhile, now have an unexpected vacancy to fill on their statewide ticket, but they have an advantage since the Legislature will almost certainly pick a Democrat to temporarily succeed Schneiderman.

It's possible the Legislature could pick Underwood to fill out the remainder of Schneiderman's term and let voters decide in November who the next attorney general will be.
