No chance with Democrats in control no matter how phony and hypocritical they look.

Just as easily as any of the treasonous tractors that exist on the right. You want to go after Maxine well we would like the heads of 147 just on the house side who voted to undo a democratically held election. Nothing Maxine has EVER done has come close to that bit of treason--not that I would expect you to be bothered by it, would you...

They won't fly, but introduce the resolution in the House so it is on the record.

What treason / what the right did was to question the tactics which were used to elect Biden questioning misconduct which was very open is not treason and should be investigated

Recall of Legislators and the Removal of Members of Congress from Office

March 20, 2003 – January 5, 2012 RL30016

Under the United States Constitution and congressional practice, Members of Congress may have their services ended prior to the normal expiration of their constitutionally established terms of office by their resignation or death, or by the action of the house of Congress in which they are a Member by way of an “expulsion,” or by a finding that in accepting a subsequent “incompatible” public office, the Member would be deemed to have vacated his congressional seat.

Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the Constitution, a Member of Congress may be removed from office before the normal expiration of his or her constitutional term by an “expulsion” from the Senate (if a Senator) or from the House of Representatives (if a Representative) upon a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the Members of that body present and voting. While there are no specific grounds for an expulsion expressed in the Constitution, expulsion actions in both the House and the Senate have generally concerned cases of perceived disloyalty to the United States, or the conviction of a criminal statutory offense which involved abuse of one’s official position. Each house has broad authority as to the grounds, nature, timing, and procedure for an expulsion of a Member. However, policy considerations, as opposed to questions of authority, have appeared to restrain the Senate and House in the exercise of expulsion when it might be considered as infringing on the electoral process, such as when the electorate knew of the past misconduct under consideration and still elected or re-elected the Member.

As to removal by recall, the United States Constitution does not provide for nor authorize the recall of United States officers such as Senators, Representatives, or the President or Vice President, and thus no Member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States. The recall of Members was considered during the time of the drafting of the federal Constitution in 1787, but no such provisions were included in the final version sent to the states for ratification, and the specific drafting and ratifying debates indicate an express understanding of the framers and ratifiers that no right or power to recall a Senator or Representative in Congress exists under the Constitution. Although the Supreme Court has not needed to directly address the subject of recall of Members of Congress, other Supreme Court decisions, as well as the weight of other judicial and administrative decisions, rulings, and opinions, indicate that (1) the right to remove a Member of Congress before the expiration of his or her constitutionally established term of office is one which resides exclusively in each house of Congress as expressly delegated in the expulsion clause of the United States Constitution, and (2) the length and number of the terms of office for federal officials, established and agreed upon by the states in the Constitution creating that federal government, may not be unilaterally changed by an individual state, such as through the enactment of a recall provision or a term limitation for a United States Senator or Representative. Under Supreme Court constitutional interpretation, since individual states never had the original sovereign authority to unilaterally change the terms and conditions of service of federal officials agreed to and established in the Constitution, such a power could not be “reserved” under the Tenth Amendment. Even the dissenters in the Supreme Court decision on the Tenth Amendment and term limits, who would have found a “reserved” authority in the states regarding “qualifications” of Members of Congress, conceded that the exclusive authority to remove a sitting Member is delegated to each house in the expulsion clause of the Constitution, and that with respect to “a power of recall ... the Framers denied to the States [such power] when they specified the terms of Members of Congress.”

Opinion? We are a Democracy confirming the next democratically elected president of the United States. The ballot box isn't about opinions but producing winners and losers. In a democracy, you can be only one or the other. While you are hung up on Waters 147 Republican members of the House voted to overturn a democratically held election. That wasn't their opinion that they were expressing but a challenge to the ballot box, a challenge that was built around Trump's BIG LIE, the same lie he perpetuated in the 2016 election until he found himself president--but that didn't stop him from claiming that Democrats cheated in the election.

So the lie he started in 2016 he continued in 2020 and it mattered not that over 60 cases were thrown out by our courts Trump continued with his lie and you conservatives lapped up every word that he said never once thinking to challenge what he said.

The waters person presented it's self to the public as a candidate to represent the people. To be a legistator, otherwise known as a LAWMAKER. Upon election, it took an oath, part of which was to defend the Constitution. The waters person was then elevated to a higher status in our society, working for ALL constituents, maintaining an accountable, responsible and transparent position. waters has failed in this clear-cut obligation...allowing race and personal "feelings" to interfere with the task before it, not even residing in the district it represents, and traveling half-way across the country [reciepts, please ?] to foment violence in an already explosive situation. waters has demonstrated this immature and dangerous behaviour on and off camera, and stirs hate everytime it opens it's sewer of a mouth. After soaking taxpayers for thirty years [current salary $174,000.00] it's fairly reasonable to kick it the FU$K-OUT. ...and to clear any question as to my grammar, I refuse to address this person as a woman, as I know what a woman is, and she ain't it.

She is a woman, being female in gender, just not a lady!
