Utah lawmaker files bill to recall US senators. The Constitution stands in his way.

The bill filed Wednesday by Republican state Rep. Tim Quinn would allow voters to recall a senator by a ballot measure. But only if 25 percent of people who voted in the previous election sign a petition to place the question on the ballot.
Quinn told Deseret News that the bill would help make senators, who serve for six-year terms, “a little more accountable to those who elected him or her.”
“Six years is a long time,” he said.
It is unlikely Quinn’s bill will pass. That is because it is against the Constitution to recall any federally elected official. According to Ballotpedia, the framers of the Constitution considered the option while drafting the document in 1787, but it was left out of the final version.
The issue has been contested on the state level, but it has yet to make it to the Supreme Court. A recent example was in 2010, where Supreme Courts of New Jersey and North Dakota ruled against federal recall according to Ballotpedia.
Quinn’s bill comes as senators prepare to vote on whether to call for witnesses at President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, of Utah, has received much criticism from fellow Republicans over his support for witnesses.
When asked about the bill’s timing, Quinn denied that it was intended to target any specific senator. He told Deseret News he had been drafting the bill for weeks.
“If I had a dollar for everyone who asked me today if this was about (Romney), I would have $20,” Quinn told Utah Policy.
