    recalling a politician for a criminal act (none / 0) (#4)
    by leondrolet on Sat Jul 04, 2009 at 09:12:30 AM EST
    is not allowed by our state constitution.

    Article 2, Section 8 of the constitution states that: "...any statement of reasons or grounds procedurally required (for a recall) shall be a political rather than a judicial question." (emphasis mine)

    This section has been interpreted to mean that if an elected official has committed a serious crime, the remedy is a trial and prison.

    Recalls are the citizenry's remedy for the political, NOT criminal, actions of an elected official.
