Topic: Recall Laws

1 chapters across the catalog

Texas has introduced legislation aimed at reinstating the principles of the 17th Amendment by allowing for the statewide recall of US Senators. This move seeks to return power to state legislatures and ensure that Senators remain "creatures of the state" rather than independent power brokers in Washington. While a constitutional convention is considered dangerous, state-level recall laws are presented as a viable way to restore the balance of power.
