Indeed, I do believe several members of Congress could do with recalls over
the near-default they imposed.  And in general recalls should be more of an
option when politicians show a sustained history of messing up and not
acting in the interests of those who elected them.  (Not for one single
act, though that can be the trigger.  But those who consistently vote to
moneyed interests instead of what's best for the people who voted for
them...)
