1. I don't believe a state has the power to recall federal officials
for the same reason they can't impose term limits.

To get rid of them their term must expire/die/resign/expulsion.

2. There is no provision in the Constitution to recall a US Senator
If your Senator has committed a high crime or misdemeanor the proper procedure is impeachment.

If you just don't like your Senator, the proper procedure is to vote in a new one when his or her term expires.
