Executing a recall of a member of the U.S. Senate "is a matter of exclusive jurisdiction of federal authority," Wells responded in an official letter. "Neither the United States Constitution nor federal statute provide for a recall proceeding for a federally elected official."

There is no such thing as a "federally elected official."

Exactly:

What a stupid bit of reasoning: Senators are not elected by the federal gov but by the individual state which has the right and duty to set the rules of those elections. New Jersey in this case said that they could in fact do recalls. Wells is an idiot.

Glad she got SMACKED DOWN!
