Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, Ii, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
We have seen by the great weight of authority that removal for cause requires notice, charges and a chance to defend. It remains for us to discuss the most difficult question of all. What is the nature of this power? Is it judicial or executive in character? The importance of this question is two-fold. 1.
