Does anyone know the process to recall Senator John McCain - TraitorPain, Pain in the ass McCain?

[jongaltsr]

I would like to start (IMMEDIATELY) the process to dispose of Rhino John McFrain McCain. I need to know the documents necessary to start that process (IMMEDIATELY - not tomorrow but TODAY).

I need to know who to start the process with, Documents necessary and anyone who would be able to start a web site just to get signatures and get the ball rolling.

JonGaltSr (Freeper since 1995 (or manybe it was 1996).

Thanks

Why not put all your effort into just not getting him re-elected? It would probably take until the next election to get anything done anyway, even if it is possible.

Thank God McCain wasn’t elected president. I knew then that there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with him. Bad mental problems- maybe because of Vietnam, maybe because of dementia-either way he’s a serious brain-burn case. If being a POW scrambled his brains permanently, that’s too bad; but sympathy shouldn’t mean suffering a Senator like that!
All I can think is that it was the senior dementia patients who retire to Arizona who are responsible for his Senate seat. Recall the crazy SOB before it’s too late!
My apologies to sane Arizonans.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I don't think that it makes a difference what Arizona's constitution says. I fully admit I do not know but believe congress would have to expel him.

Is anyone aware of a precedent where a state did recall its U.S. Senator and the senator obeyed?

[ConstantSkeptic]

A United States Senator cannot be recalled. Read your handy dandy copy of the United States Constitution - I assume you have one. Article One, Section Three states that the term for a senator shall be six years. Section Five gives the Senate and House of Representatives the power to discipline their members, and to expel them by a 2/3 vote. There are no provisions for anyone else to remove a Senator or to subvert the six year term to which he has been elected. Check the link NonValueAdded provided in Post #20.

Your time is better spent by trying to find a candidate who can beat McCain in the next election.

There's no procedure in the US Constitution, but state law may allow for a recall. A recall of Bob Menendez was ruled constitutional by New Jersey courts recently. Ehow.com has an article here about how to go about organizing a recall.

It's never happened though, either for US Senator or Representatives. Here's an article from the Heritage Foundation arguing that such recalls are unconstitutional.

There have already been attempts to recall McCain. If this one gets any further than the others it may tie up the courts until the Senator is out of Congress one way or another.

Just curious here...How does the 17th amendment modify the interpretation of the idea of recalling a Senator, since they are now elected by direct popular vote instead of by the State legislature.

" The effort is better used on other things.

Do you mean try something like - kidnap him, sell him to a slaver deep in the Congo and hope he never escapes? Maybe the N. Koreans could use a dung processor.

Just a thought.......

[ConstantSkeptic]

I don’t see how directly electing him vs. having a state legislature elect him would change the basic fact that the U.S. Senator position is defined by the U.S. Constitution and that document controls his term of service and means of expulsion. If the U.S. Constitution states that the term for a Senator SHALL be six years, how can any state body decide that it shall be anything less?

[jongaltsr]

He has been working for the Dems for over ten years and you have just had this idea now?

I know what he had to do to survive the Hanoi Hilton. (Beside he and I had something in common.) The Day I left VeitNam he was shot down and captured - Oct 23rd 1967.

Never be sentimental about someone who you KNOW "HAD TO BE BRAIN WASHED - Even if it was only partial it is CRITICAL now - to us.

You may disagree vehemently with what McCain does, but respect his military service to this country. He fought in the Viet Nam war, was a prisoner of war for five and a half years, was tortured, and suffered permanent injuries. Suggestions like yours, considering McCain’s distinguished service, are reprehensible.

[jongaltsr]

Sorry - McPain does not live in Sedona. He lives in Cornville which is a few miles south. Cornville is a better place for him to be from and is somehow more appropriate.

You have been a Freeper for almost twenty years and do not know a US Senator cannot be impeached???

Seriously ?

Here's another factoid a lot of Freepers are unaware of: Term limits for Congressman are unconstitutional...SCOTUS ruled on that years ago...

You don't like your representative....vote their asses out..

[c-b 1]

Something like that, he would probably be more comfortable in North Korea, or Cuba.

[joseph20]

I’m saying that the 17th Amendment is at fault...since we already vote to elect them now we naturally have this idea that we can just “recall a Senator” by direct popular vote as well.

This is little “d” democracy at work. Direct popular votes are more popular than ever! /s.

[ReaganÜberAlles]

AZ recall law does not allow for federal elected offcials to be recalled. It would be a symbolic effort only.

[Oatka]

He put up black hypnotic signs last time and had the local press smear J.D. Hayworth. Even Freepers were cutting Hayworth down.

I remember that well. I kept telling those who complained about Hayworth's "purity" that it didn't matter if he was doing funny things with farm animals behind the barn, we could always throw him out in the next election. The main thrust was to get McCain OUT.

Well, the idiots voted the turncoat back in, and I see no pressure to get him out now, even in the face of his anti-gun sellout. Another example of Arizona becoming Californicated.

By the bye, I have written (snail mail, for effect) to both McCain and Flake on gun control (also called their office in D.C.), with the second letter asking for something more than boilerplate. Flake has responded with pro-gun statements and went into some detail. McCain never bothered to answer this "bluddy peasant".

[freekitty]

What about the 10th Amendment?

[Luke21]

The only thing Flake is better than is Richard Carmona.

I have the greatst respect for those who have served and suffered for this country BUT whatever happened to him has PERMANENTLY affected his mind. Get him some mental help, give him a mental disability payment, find him a nice quiet facility for help but you DO NOT put someone who is mentally damaged in charge of driving school busses, flying airplanes, or running any part of government. Disagree if you will but the two attitudes are not mutually exclusive.There are too damned many people who are NOT handicapped emotionally or mentally to put up with someone who is obviously impaired.
