18. How can the Lt. Governor handicap anyone or anything?

Unlike the U.S. Senate, the Wisconsin Senate has a total of 35 Senators, and it is highly unlikely that the Lt. Governor would break a tie. It is unlikely that she would have any influence on anything unless the Governor ceases to be the Governor. I really see no reason to waste the time and effort to attempt to recall an ugly benign lump. The surgery will cause far more problems than just leaving it alone.
