In reply to the discussion: The Wayne County Board of Canvassers just deadlocked 2-2 on certifying the vote. [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(23,380 posts)24. Apparently the governor has the power to remove board members
Let me now put this to bed. § 10 Removal or suspension of officers; grounds, report.
Sec. 10.
The governor shall have power and it shall be his duty to inquire into the condition and administration of any public office and the acts of any public officer, elective or appointive. He may remove or suspend from office for gross neglect of duty or for corrupt conduct in office, or for any other misfeasance or malfeasance therein, any elective or appointive state officer, except legislative or judicial, and shall report the reasons for such removal or suspension to the legislature.
History: Const. 1963, Art. V, § 10, Eff. Jan. 1, 1964
Former Constitution: See Const. 1908, Art. IX, § 7.
Gov. Whitmer has total autonomy over Board of Canvassers at the state level. I would guess a failure to certify a legitimate election would count as neglect of duty or corruption. Nobody is losing a cushy post over Trump.
