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.

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.
