It is Arizona law, linked in the blog. It specifies -all- elected officials and states “including state wide office. That’s the beauty of federalism.

Point to where you get your esoteric knowledge please. You make a claim that appears false and give no supporting evidence.

McCain doesn't hold a statewide office. He holds a federal office.

I haven't read the supporting article, but I doubt the recall of a sitting U.S. Senator is legal in any state. They can, however, be impeached. That's in the Constitution.

U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressmen are federal officers and subject to federal law, not state law.

My source is the U.S. Constitution and this issue was resolved long ago.
