After what we went through with the recall of Governor Newsom, one would think the Democrats

[JohnSJ]

would have changed the Constitution to raise the bar for what it takes to do a recall of the Governor, but I am not aware of any of that happening

1. I do recall them promising to do just that if Newsome won, but the best time for that would have

been immediately.

[JohnSJ]

2. I agree. Just raising the threshold to 25% like other states for signatures would help

[SergeStorms]

3. Wouldn't that have to be on.....

a state-wide referendum to change the California Constitution?

Maybe this November.

[JohnSJ]

4. I think the legislature can do it with 2/3 vote

5. It takes a 2/3 vote in the legislature to then.....

pass it on to voters in a Constitutional amendment.

So I guess we're both right.

[JohnSJ]

6. I hope it happens Serge

[SergeStorms]

8. I doubt you'll get one republican vote....

so the Democrats will have to do it on their own, if they have the votes. I'm not certain what the percentage of Democrats is in the California legislature. It's ridiculous to spend all that money on something that has no chance of passing. Good luck!

[JohnSJ]

9. We currently have super majorities in both houses of the California legislature

[SergeStorms]

10. Gotta' get this done then.

Go get 'em, and prevent these lunatics from recalling the Governor every time they get a mad on (which us pretty much always).

Good luck to you and all Californians.

7. Let's keep raising the issue so it's top of mind to the pols.
