Members of Congress cannot be recalled even if state law allows for recall petitions. Other than being voted out of office the only options are resignation or being disbarred by Congress itself. However, it might be possible to pressure for a resignation by declaring a jihad on local Democrats. If the state Democratic party is looking at extinction because of a member of Congress they might pressure their Congress critter to make an exit.

Its too bad all states don’t have recall petition amendments.That would cut down on senators getting elected to screw their voters for 5 years before having to worry about being held accountable.
How d’ya suppose Ben Nelson would do about now?
