“Anyone know how to start a recall of a sitting Senator? I think it’s time to stop pussy footin’ around.”

Unfortunately, the constitution does not provide for the recall of senators.

Once they are elected and qualified, they serve out their terms, unless they assume room temperature or are expelled as provided in article 1, section 5 of the constitution.

I’ll add impeachment. There was a Senator who was impeached and removed from office back in the 1800s.

That’s what I thought as well - I was just hoping there was some other loophole I wasn’t aware of. sigh....
