Sep 29, 2017 · Contrary to what you may believe or wish, you cannot recall members of the U.S. Congress. Recalling a member of the Senate is not allowed by the Constitution, and no one has been removed from the Senate from a recall.
I'm pretty sure that Utah was trying to pass a law that would allow for the recall of a sitting senator after the first impeachment. And I do not remember reading where the constitution specifically said that you can't recall a sitting senator. If the Constitution does specifically not allow the recalling of a sitting senator, could you show me?

It’s not permitted under federal law, so Utah couldn’t pass a law saying it could be done.
