Eric Adams Indicted: 3 Ways NYC Mayor Could Be Removed From Office
1) If Adams resigns: The simpler way. If the NYC mayor puts down his papers before his term ends, the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, would become acting mayor and a special election would be scheduled.
2) Adms can be be forced out of office in a complicated process mentioned in the New York Charter. Gov Kathy Hochul has the power to replace him.
3) Another provision of the charter allows for a 'committee on mayoral inability' to remove Adams. A five-member committee would determine if the mayor is fit for office.
