John McCain Has Earned The Right to be RECALLED/b>

There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution for the recall of a U.S. Senator or a Congressman.

Waste of time.

It is Arizona law, linked in the blog. It specifies -all- elected officials and states “including state wide office. That’s the beauty of federalism.

Point to where you get your esoteric knowledge please. You make a claim that appears false and give no supporting evidence.

Article 8 of the Arizona State Constitution:

Text of Section 1:

Officers Subject to Recall; Petitioners

Every public officer in the state of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from such office by the qualified electors of the electoral district from which candidates are elected to such office. Such electoral district may include the whole state. Such number of said electors as shall equal twentyfive per centum of the number of votes cast at the last preceding general election for all of the candidates for the office held by such officer, may by petition, which shall be known as a recall petition, demand his recall.

that is because states determine if their senators and reps can be recalled.

No, he must be shamed ( I know that is harsh and borderline dysfunctional ) and made to feel like he is a minister without portfolio.

These elitist snobs in the Senate need to really see how we feel about them even if it is only symbolic.

He gets a petition that says 250k, or 500k or a 1 million people have no confidence in him, maybe he'll get the hint and resign. Ditto that Hatch, McConnell, and insert any other name....
