The State of the Union is the address presented by the President of the United States to a joint session of the United States CongressDingy Harry has an enormous political machine in Nevada and there's no way a recall motion would get off the ground.
Which means, of course, that The People of the Great State of Nevada want him representing them in Congress...right? And, The People rule this country...right?
If the People of the Great State of Nevada wanted him to represent them in Congress, they would have elected him to the Congress. They elected him to the Senate.
Okay, do Americans today really not know that there is a Congress and a Senate?
A whole bunch of these CAREER politicians should be impeached or kicked out of office..
they have become ENTRENCED and corrupt..
Harry Reid is a crook and a snake, he has the Unions in his back pocket that's how he keeps winning..pathetic he is still in office
The Senate is part of Congress.
Harry Reid is STILL not a Congressman.
Technically he is, but we reserve that term for House members most likely because it is easier to say than representative and Senator already sounds good as a label.
We really do need to start teaching government structure again.
Of Harry Reid was a congressman, he would be Congressman Reid. He is Senator Reid.

a super duper majority of elected officials CANNOT be impeached, but Republican Governors can be

No doubt that whoever it was that took money for victims of superstorm Sandy to be applied to fisheries in Alaska, is going to be very popular in Alaska.
You seem to be missing or misunderstanding a critical facet of our representative republic.
The ONLY national politicians elected to represent The People in toto are the President and Vice President. Members of Congress were never intended to represent the The People as a whole but, rather, to represent The People of their respective districts and states. The framers of the Constitution believed the Will of The People as a whole would best be determined by such a system, rather than having Congress loaded with "at large" members whose function is to serve all The People at once.
In other words, don't expect members of Congress to act in accordance with some perceived notion of what's "right" for the whole country. Their job, the job we elect them to do, is to represent JUST THEIR CONSTITUENTS, and not the common good. That common good will be the result of 100 voting members of the Senate voting for the benefit of their states, and 435 members of the House voting for what's best for their respective districts.
Harry Reid's job isn't to do what's "right" for America, but to do what's "right" for Nevada. Every other member of the Senate does the same thing.
Apparently, The People of Nevada seem to like the way he represents their interests, whether you like him or not.
You are correct, which is why Reid would not be removed and why the people of Nevada would fight for him. No matter what he does, he will stay just where he is. He could stay there for life if he wanted to do that.

Nope....but they can be jailed when they leave the protection of their office.sound the alarm
Congressmen cannot be impeached
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
They can be expelled or recalled. They can be impeached. Senator William Blount was impeached in 1798.

not true
Quit bustin' my balls. It is true. We don't refer to Senators as Congressman so and so, even though they are congressman.

There is a term of address and there is a reality. A Congressman can refer to a person from either house of Congress, whereas Senator is used exclusively for a person elected to the Senate. The term Representative is used exclusively for a person elected to the House of Representatives.
We do not refer to a US Senator as 'Congressman' as a way of formal address, but we do say the President will address a joint session of Congress where he will speak to the members of Congress:

Yep. Democracy in action!
Do you have a problem with that? Why?

If you read back, I was pointing out that no matter how much Reid is despised in the nation, he is so loved in Nevada, that he won't be removed.
Harry reid should be impeached !!
Members of Congress can't be impeached, only the President and Vice-President can.
He could be expelled but it would require a a vote to investigate and a vote to expel which would require a 2/3 vote of the Senate.
We really do need to start teaching government structure again.
