Why doesn’t the US have recall elections for our officials?We recently had 1 in our city for a council member. Why can’t we pass a nation wide constitutional amendment allowing every state the right to recall any political figure if you had 52% of voters in a district/state/nation wanting recall?

📢 Today at 2:30 PM ET, Senator Markey, climate advocates, union workers, and Members of Congress will rally outside the EPA to demand the Trump administration restore funding for vital clean air, water, and climate programs. Our president, @gretchentg.bsky.social, will be a key speaker! 🌎✊ Join us!
Press Conference - Defend EPA Programs and Staff · Climate Action Campaign
On Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 2:30PM ET, Senator Markey, climate and environmental advocates, union workers, and members of Congress will hold a press conference outside the Environmental Protection Agency to demand that the Trump administration end its unlawful cut-off of funding to Environmental Protection Agency programs for clean air, clean water, and climate action that were authorized and appropriated by Congress.
Despite court orders requiring the restart of funding, Trump administration officials have failed to release money for Inflation Reduction Act and clean school bus programs as required by law—leaving communities without resources to fight dangerous pollution. While this unconstitutional funding seizure is taking place, unelected billionaire Elon Musk has taken over the federal government in order to target the EPA employees who keep our communities safe.
At this press conference, lawmakers, workers, and advocates will highlight programs still affected by illegal funding cut-offs and attacks on our democracy, as well as demand that Musk cease his baseless attacks on the EPA’s work to tackle pollution and protect public health and the environment.

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.
