Would you support a "No Confidence" vote?

Many times in our Government (U.S.), in our States, and in our Cities the people we elect don't do their jobs, or they get voted in for one stance but then do just the opposite once in office. Instead of just waiting for their term to be over, should the citizens have the legal right to call for a vote of No Confidence in their elected officials at the local and state level?
Answer:
In general....no. We have an impeachment process for severe infractions. If we did go the "no confidence" vote route, we would constantly be tying up the system. Not to mention the time each official would have to spend defending and answering such campaigns even if frivolous or from the losing party. Many offices have term limits for just such reasons.

While this sounds good on the surface, what you're overlooking is the cost of replacing our elected officials every couple months. How would this cost be covered? Higher taxes. And what happens when taxes are raised? You have another no confidence vote and elect a new one. Who has to raise taxes. This plan isn't well thought out.

Yes i agree if people can't or won't do the job they don't deserve it so get somone else that can and will work as they should

I agree with one of the above answers. Although this sounds good in theory, it practice it would be a nightmare. For local officials, honestly, most people don't even pay attention to what those people are doing unless it's so bizarre or outrageous as to incite huge debate. At that point, sometimes higher officials will step in and ask for resignation, so there is no need for this vote.

Secondly, there are no measures available to be able to carry this out effectively. How do you elect the next person when you have ousted someone with a no confidence vote? Do you just allow an empty position for months? It's just too complicated, and as mentioned, to costly for tax payers. And although it might be nice to get rid of some jerk that does a crappy job, the best the system can do is ensure that in a certian number of years when his term is up, we can vote for someone new.
