No - federal office holders can’t be recalled.

What about impeachment?

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

That depends on how senile the state is.

Unless the state’s own Constitution stipulates procedures for a recall, no.

[Political Junkie Too]

I used to say "no" to this question, but his part of Article V gives me a thought:

and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

This suggests that a state CAN consent to having a lesser number of Senators than the other states. That consent would be in the form of a recall.

Since the recall of a Senator by a state would be "consensual," it would not violate the Article V condition of "equal suffrage" in the Senate.

In a word, no.

[hanamizu]

In a word, no. The idea of the recall was part of the progressive movement in the early 20th century. It also included the referendum and the intuitive. Although adopted by many, but not all, states, they never made it into the U.S. Constitution or government.

A representative or Senator can be expelled by his/her own house, resign, die, or fail re-election. That’s the only way to remove them.
