Oh no! How could they do this? And after all the support Mittens has given Democrats Republicans in his short time in office.
A Utah lawmaker has filed a bill to allow Utahns to recall an elected United States senator.
Republican Utah state Rep. Tim Quinn has introduced a bill in that state's legislature that would allow voters to recall U.S. senators.
Quinn said his bill isn't aimed at Romney or any specific senator — though he acknowledged his bill comes at a time that people will likely construe it that way.
“I know that's what's going to be the narrative,” Quinn said. “If it were, then it might make sense to have a sunset on it. That would not be the case.”
Rather, Quinn said he started drafting the bill “weeks and weeks ago” after some constituents came to him raising ideas of how Utah could return to a “pre-17th Amendment” time, or when U.S. senators were appointed rather than elected.
“Six years is a long time,” he said, according to the Deseret News.
