Lots of recall campaigns have successfully been done. They have the benefit of being very public and attention grabbing by nature. That's if more immediate ejection/dismissal mechanisms don't exist on a panel/committee.

    You're operating under the assumption that these people haven't already made the calculation that wherever bribe they received is worth their position.

    So recalling them, or voting them out, after they've done what they were bribed/blackmailed to do, isn't the threat, or check on power, that many here believe it to be.
