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.
