Would this be considered a first step towards impeachment or recall?
Not if Busy Boehner has anything to say about it. He still wants to reach out and tough somebody’s hand.
A U.S. Senator (or Congressman) can neither be impeached nor recalled.
The Constitution makes no provision for removal of an elected federal official save death, resignation or electoral defeat. He can be expelled, though, by the body to which he was elected.
Is this a new censure or bloggers re-running the story from 2005. (Did a lot of damage to him then, didn’t it?)
