Ky has no provision to recall a constitutional officer or federal House member or Senator.
During drafting, the New York deligation lobbied for recall provisions to be inserted. They felt 6 years for senators was too much power for too long.

Maybe they need one for governor. Recall for congressman or senator would be unconstitutional.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. I wonder if they raised it again when the Bill of Rights was being debated in Congress and just couldn't get enough support?
