Because, if so, I'd like to contribute a little $$ toward that effort.

1. United States Senators can't be recalled.
Only the Senate can expel a member of the Senate.

4. Yes, the U.S. Constitution determines their eligibility. No recall.
The Senate won't kick him out.

Stevens in Alaska, I bet they do throw him out, if he gets back in. He'll resign first, though.

5. I'm kinda happy with the notion of Joe being spit on as he walks his street back home
Some things are simply better than a recall. He's a hated man here. The man without a state.

Or a party. Or a conscience.
