Can congressmen be recalled?
There's never been one in the history of Congress, and that is taken by some to mean that it cannot be done, but there is nothing in the Constitution forbidding it. Specific remedies within the Constitution are censure and expulsion, both of which are accomplished via a vote within the House or Senate, whichever House is involved. There is a Wisconsin State Supreme Court ruling, from 1979, however, that directs the Wisconsin State Board Of Elections to proceed with preparations for recall of a member of the US Senate, and to only stop at the direction of a court of law with jurisdiction over the matter. Of the states that make provision for recall elections, only two expressly forbid recall elections of US Senators or Representatives, North Dakota and Oregon. My home state, North Carolina, does not make any provision for recall elections, at any level, but I believe 36 other states do. I can find the thread where I was discussing this with a FReeper from Georgia, regarding Chambliss and Issakson, if you'd like. It was just last week.
