I don't claim to be a law scholar Plat but i'm pretty sure the citizens can recall a rep for any reason they want.

I do not profess to know everything about politics. I would be very interested in learning how the citizens of a state can recall their representative from the House of Representatives mid-term. I have never heard that happening, nor can I find any reference to that at House.gov.

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

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....

Great find! That is one website worth bookmarking. Thanks for posting it.

Raises an interesting question about recall elections and federal government. That would be an argument worth listening to.
