Mike,
Can a recall petition be initiated anytime or only at a delegates
meeting? What are the proceedures for doing this? WHat is the
percentage of delegates required to sign a recall petition?

Would the USCF then incur the expense of sending out ballots again at
the cost of many tens of thousands of dollars? If that is the case and
the delegates knew it to be so ,I don't think the economic cost is
justifiable.
