evidence: The claim: Utah is officially collecting signatures to recall Mitt Romney A viral Facebook post accelerated rumors about efforts to recall Republican Sen. Mitt Romney. [...] We rate this claim FALSE, based on our research. A Facebook claim stating Utah state officials began efforts to recall Mitt Romney is inaccurate. According to the Constitution, a senator can only be removed from office through impeachment or expulsion. Either action requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate. At least two petitions to censure Romney are actively collecting signatures, but neither have called for a recall.
