The U.S. Constitution says that Senators are elected to terms that last six years, and Representatives to terms that last two years, so recall provisions in state constitutions can’t apply to members of Congress.

Correct, and this was litigated in Idaho in 1967 when some citizens of that state attempted to recall Sen. Frank Church. The federal court shut the recall effort down.

That is correct, no U.S. senator from any state can be recalled (see my post above). State senators can be recalled, however, if their state constitution so allows.

They never have. Recall of Senators, Congressmen and the President has been a dead issue for over a hundred years.

The Senate may expel a sitting Senator with a 2/3 vote. Same for a sitting Congressman. A President much be impeached.

There are no other methods of removal available.

Being owned by Rupert Murdoch, he would have embargoed the story until amnesty passed the Senate next week. I wonder if Drudge has now forced their hand....

” the voting blocs that decide elections in New Jersey won’t give a damn”
Nah, Bob Menendez will play the victim card and the folks will rally around the Dem.

You’re absolutely right. Not every judicial decision in favor of a Democrat is a liberal conspiracy.

A dead girl didn’t sink Ted Kennedy.

Constitutionally, the only ways a US Senator or Congressman can leave office is death, resignation or to be expelled by a two thirds vote or your respective house....

If we see Menendez and Hernandez in a white ford bronco together you will know he was involved
