Reply To: Recall Election

There are some situations in which an elected official will need to be removed from office before the expiration of their term.

-In the event of proven or likely criminal activity by the office-holder, an impeachment process exists, and has in fact been used several times to remove officials at all levels from office.

-There also needs to be some way of determining diminished mental capacity and removing someone who is no longer capable of serving.

I have less of a disagreement with states that require allegations of impropriety before allowing a recall election (since this is similar to impeachment), but I nevertheless do disagree even with those states.

Thanks to those who took the time to read and respond to this.
