Confusion in Removal from Office


Calion

Recommended Posts

On p. 654, fn. **, it says, "a resolution preferring charges may combine notice to show cause both why the accused should not be removed from office and why he should not be expelled from membership."

Why would a resolution proferring charges include notice to show cause why he should *not* be removed from office? Is this a typo, or is there something I'm not understanding here?

I think you are not understanding it. The notice should tell the accused that he should appear at the hearing and show cause why he should not be removed. If he can’t show cause (a reason) as to why he should not be removed, he likely will be removed or expelled. 

Judicial summonses for court are often worded the same way. “You are commanded to show cause why judgment should not be rendered against you”, etc.
