Who may be recalled?

In South Dakota, the right of recall extends to "the mayor, any commissioner, any alderman, or any member of the board of trustees" in municipal jurisdictions. It does not extend to members of the South Dakota State Legislature, representatives from South Dakota to the U.S. Congress or to statewide constitutional officers such as the Governor of South Dakota.

7. Not if she claims it was part of her offical duties as governor. (Hey, it might work for TSF with SCOTUS.)
