I don’t think you can recall a Federal office holder. I know for sure you cannot recall a Senator. I think the best you can do is a referendum aka a no confidence vote and then convince the body - Senate or House - to expel the member with that vote as the justification. I doubt the Congresscritters would go for that, though, because the precedent would also apply to them and you can bet your bottom dollar that FR would have the necessary petitions up in a heartbeat for a whole bunch of those jackals.

Not like these fools are doing. One basically has to commit treason to be removed from national office. Heck, even common offensives like bribery are hard cases to remove and keep these people out of office in "protected" districts/
