TRENTON-The topic on social media in recent weeks has revolved around what to do with Governor Phil Murphy and all of his bad decisions.   Many have questioned the peoples’ ability to recall the governor, but is that even possible?

Yes, under New Jersey law, the citizens of New Jersey can recall a governor.  It’s right there in our state constitution.

“The people reserve unto themselves the power to recall, after at least one year of service, any elected official in this State or representing this State in the United States Congress. The Legislature shall enact laws to provide for such recall elections. Any such laws shall include a provision that a recall election shall be held upon petition of at least 25% of the registered voters in the electoral district of the official sought to be recalled. If legislation to implement this constitutional amendment is not enacted within one year of the adoption of the amendment, the Secretary of State shall, by regulation, implement the constitutional amendment, except that regulations adopted by the Secretary of State shall be superseded by any subsequent legislation consistent with this constitutional amendment governing recall elections. The sufficiency of any statement of reasons or grounds procedurally required shall be a political rather than a judicial question.”

HAHAHAHAHAH !! Not a friggin chance in hell this will ever work.

The members of the NJ Hometown Forum continue to be delusional all day all the time!!!

Better chance of recalling menendez

I have been  drinking.  Heavily at times !!

It's an interesting thought, but a pretty insurmountable goal:  acquire 1.4M signatures demanding the recall of the governor.  Given that only 2.1M of the NJ electorate voted last election, with 1.16M voting FOR Murphy (meaning only 940,000 voted against him), you'd have to either:

- Convince a little under 500,000 Murphy voters to admit they were wrong, or
- Convince 500,000 apathetic voters who couldn't even be bothered to vote last time to get off their dead asses and show up

Far out! The horse-teeth creep Murphy is doing everything he OPENLY campaigned on before he was elected, (raising taxes, gun control, sanctuary policies for illegals, etc.) and easily won with....but now conservatives will climb out from under their rocks to provide 1.4+ million signatures on a recall petition.

I participated in the Sweeney recall. Took time off,  knocked on doors got signatures....

Many will say great idea but only a few will get off their buts and participate.

We are a State of  chronic complainers unwilling to do the hard work.

We will see in February

Agree with everything you wrote. NJ is generally apathetic. Even when they raise taxes that the public doesnt want, it just continues.
