Since when do State legislators run the U.S. Federal Government?

The Vermont resolution was vague and non-binding political document.

Since the time of Thomas Jefferson...

Under Thomas Jefferson’s Manual for Rules of the House, such a joint
resolution [from a state], should it pass, is an alternative route to
impeachment,and would require the House Judiciary Committee to initiate
an impeachment hearing to determine whether grounds for impeachment of
the president and vice president exist.

Not necessarily so...

Under Thomas Jefferson’s Manual for Rules of the House, such a joint
resolution, should it pass, is an alternative route to impeachment,
and would *require* the House Judiciary Committee to initiate an
impeachment hearing to determine whether grounds for impeachment of
the president and vice president exist.

It's a non-binding resolution by one house of the Vermont Legislature
(the state senate)

http://www.reformer.com/ci_5719841

(I rather wonder why any state needs a bicameral legislature. Nebraska
only has one house. At one time, Alpine County [which today has about
1200 people] and Los Angeles County each sent one senator to
Sacramento but the U.S. Supremes killed that.))

Only the U.S. House of Representatives can impeach a U.S. official and
the trial is held by the Senate with the Chief Justice presiding.

There are two cases in which the states can have control over the
Federal Government.

1) This has never been done but a constituional convention can be
called by 2/3 of the state legislators.

2) A constituional amendment needs to be ratified by 3/4 of the state
legislatures or by 3/4 of state conventions.

Before 1913 and the passing of the 17th amendment the U.S. Senate was
elected by state legislatures. If a U.S. senator (and I believe
representative but that's only a 2 year term) leaves office then the
governor appoints a replacement for the rest of the term.

Others have also said that--but I am not enough of a politician to
understand why the Democrats (and some Republicans) calling the
administration to task for their corruption would cause them to lose the
election.

Are you saying we should just look the other way, put our heads in the
sand and give the administration a free pass for their corruption and
scandals?
