A Utah state lawmaker introduced a bill that would allow voters to recall a sitting U.S. senator before his or her six-year term ends.
Republican Rep. Tim Quinn, 56, claimed that the bill had nothing to do with either of the state's current senators, Mike Lee and Mitt Romney, but that he believed the policy was important given the length of a senator's term.
If the legislation became law, voters could petition to have a recall election of a sitting U.S. senator.
"That's a lot of signature gathering. So it's not something that people would take lightly if someone ever did want to recall a sitting senator."
Quinn's bill would likely face a battle in the courts if it became law.
Newly appointed Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler ripped Romney for leaving the door open on additional witness testimony, tweeting: "After 2 weeks, it's clear that Democrats have no case for impeachment. Sadly, my colleague [Romney] wants to appease the left by calling witnesses who will slander the [president] during their 15 minutes of fame. The circus is over. It's time to move on!".
Democrats in Utah showed increased approval for Romney in the same time frame.
