in the resultant trial held by the US Senate (2/3rds vote needed to convict). The US Senate can also (by a simple majority vote) ban them for life from holding any federal office again IF they are first found guilty in the trial.

Individual states, if they have provisions in their state law, CAN recall Senators or congresscritters. I remember very well the "Joe Must Go" campaign to recall Sen. Joe McCarthy in 1954, because my mom was one of the people circulating petitions. You may be confusing them with federal officials.

A US senator can be removed only by death, resignation or expulsion. Missouri has passed a law that purports to authorize the recall of a senator, but it's never been attempted and is certain to be found unconstitutional if tried.

he is PA's Manchin but WV was better off with Manchin than their current clown

(although both flavors in WV are incredibly corrupt)

Too bad some folks were so disappointed in Casey that they helped elect McCormick instead. One less D seat in the Senate.

The stroke just revealed what this guy was always about. He fought harder to wear hoodies and sweats than he ever did for the people of PA. We have to do better vetting people.
