Federal officeholders, i.e. congressmen and senators, cannot be recalled. Some state constitutions have provisions for impeachment or recall of senators, but a federal court case in 1967 in Idaho concerning Sen. Frank Church killed that off.

Bottom line: You can vote him out, or wait for him to resign or die.

That SOB that gave us the "Church Admendment" not to go after Dictators? Oh I could scream...

But back to McCain....

I say we have a petition, even if it does nothing as a vote of no-confidence in AZ (and /or Nationwide) asking for his resignation.

A couple of Million Signatures just to rub his nose in it, and to tell him we have had enough, and this is our form of redress...

Where do I send $100 to get this going since I am not an AZ resident...
