Not if she claims it was part of her offical duties as governor. (Hey, it might work for TSF with SCOTUS.) TheBlackAdder Apr 2024 #7

Who may be recalled?

In South Dakota, the right of recall extends to "the mayor, any commissioner, any alderman, or any member of the board of trustees" in municipal jurisdictions. It does not extend to members of the South Dakota State Legislature, representatives from South Dakota to the U.S. Congress or to statewide constitutional officers such as the Governor of South Dakota.

Well, we'll have to take her down in '26, I guess.

Another thought--Is killing a puppy an impeachable offense?

It will only be another extreme Republican that replaces her.

I truly hope that S. Dakota residents take that option and kick this animal abuser out.

And are there any statutes about cruelty to animals that might apply here?
