"....A US senator is not an official of the state of Arizona. He is an elected official of the United States...."

What a crock of s--t.............

That jackass is not elected as an at-large representative of America you nincompoop. He doesn't represent the people of these united States of America. He represents the citizens of Arizona. He is a two-bit elected blowhard from the State of Arizona.

Before you start the next time you should be certain of the facts.

Fact is McCain IS a representative of the US at large and is not subject to recall at all, nor to any state laws to the contrary.

While I do not like the amendment that makes this so, it is law and he doesn't have to do squat for Arizona if he chooses not to.

17th Amendment, US Constitution: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years”

Please show me where the Constitution makes allowance for the people of the state to recall their senator, thereby reducing his term from the prescribed six years.

The Arizona Constitution, in its provision for recall, states that they apply to “elected officials in the State of Arizona.” A senator or congressmen is not an elected offial in the state of Arizona, he is an elected official of the US government. Federal constitution and law applies, not state law.

BTW, what does it say about the intelligence and character of a person whose very first response to someone who disagrees is to (try to) insult him?
