so if it is determined that they cannot be held to a pledge their word would be broken should they not abide by their pledge...
as for a recall of a US senator being unconstitutional it may be decided by the US Supreme Court...and then again maybe not.

Not sure I follow you there, but Congressmen and Senators break their pledges daily. It's in their genes, and why most decent people loathe them and would never run for public office.
My original point was, even if they "signed a pledge" (and I don't think McQueeg did), they cannot be held to it because it's extra-constitutional. It would be a requirement placed upon the Congressman or Senator that is not in the Constitution. It could not be enforced, just as term limits were thrown out by the courts (Tom Foley in WA beat the term-limit law in effect in that state in 1992. Foley, who was Speaker of the US House, was promptly thrown out of office by his constituents).
