Not so fast. Nope. States can't (recall) congressmen or senators.

Status of a Member of the House Who Has Been Indicted for or Convicted of a Felony.

Recall

Concerning a sitting Member of the House (or Senate) who is either indicted for or convicted of a felony offense, it should be noted that the United States Constitution does not provide for nor authorize the recall of any United States officials, such as United States Senators, Representatives to Congress, or the President or Vice President, and thus no Senator or Representative has ever been recalled in the history of the United States.29 Under the Constitution and congressional practice, Members of Congress may have their services ended prior to the normal expiration of their constitutional terms of office by their resignation, death, or by action of the House of Congress in which they sit by way of an expulsion30 or by a finding that a subsequent public office accepted by a Member is “incompatible” with congressional office (and that the Member has thus vacated his seat in Congress).31
