There is no provision to recall a sitting Senator (or Representative) in the Constitution. To attempt to recall one would therefore be a violation. Violating the Constitution is something we decry when the Rats do it, but apparently some of us reserve the right to violate it ourselves.
Agree. Only “recall” at this time is to defeat the curmudgeon at the polls. Why we need lifetime term limits for elected Federal officials. And adding a recall provision or standalone amendment might be a good idea. Let’s stay Constitutional for now, and unless & until Constitutional remedies are exhausted.
Arizona allows for recall of all officials. McCain and Flake both supposedly signed voluntary agreement to abide by a recall.
As far as I know, the US Constitution says nothing about recalling Federal elected officials. So since it does not explicitly prohibit recalls, it’s a bit strong to accuse recall proponents of “violating” the Constitution.
Those seeking to recall McCain and Flake cite as their authority the Arizona state constitution, which allows for recalls.
