We do not have votes of non-confidence in the US. And probably a good thing or Congress would be an empty building. :D

Apparently only nine states have laws that claim that right but as it hasn't ever been tested it remains unclear if the feds would allow it. Of course I can't imagine a Member of Congress refusing to resign if a large majority of his constituents were demanding his removal either. After all the SOB has to come home some time.... ;)
