Arnold Schwarzenegger the Governor

Marc Vasquez, 58, said after casting his ballot in Fresno: ``The recall is something that we're privileged to have in this state. It's high time we have officials realize that they can be held accountable.''

It's too bad we don't have such procedure like the recall in Poland, don't you think?

To all living in California, would you please explain to me how it works and how it is initiated.

All you have to do is to have a certain number of people registered to vote
sign the petition which calls for a recall. (I don’t know the number in
California but its significant)
Once the signatures are verified the vote for a recall of the elected official
finds itself on the next ballot.

Here's a link to rules of recall in California.

To recall Ahnuld, one needs way more than 900 thousand signatures.

Thank you very much waco. The only unclear thing to me is the explanation about the proponents. Are they ordinary citizens of the California State?

It is interesting that since 1911 there have been 31 attempts to recall the governors, all not succesful until now. So now it looks like a small revolution.

Now to all people here in Poland; if you had a procedure like that who would you replace Miller with? Golota? :)

You can be a proponent. All you need to do is sign a
petition and register it. By law it cannot be rejected or
denied. Then you have to go on the road and get close to
a million signatures. That's all.
By the way it was attempted 4 times against gov. Wilson
and twice against Reagan.

I think such a recall is possible in 4 US states only..

[Gość: wacko jacko]

While most states have provisions for the governor to be
impeached only 18 states allowes a recall. These are
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho,
Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada,
New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Washington, and Wisconsin.
Thank you.
