The Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Tribal Council members, Judges, and Traditional Court members may be removed for good cause through the removal process. The Tribal Council may begin the removal process by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the entire Tribal Council to submit the issue to a meeting of the General Council. The removal process may also be initiated upon presentation to the Chairperson of a petition signed by a majority of the eligible voters of the Tribe to submit the issue to a meeting of the General Council. After the issue of removal has been referred to the General Council by the Tribal Council or by a petition of the eligible voters of the Tribe, the General Council may vote to remove the official through a two-thirds vote at a Special Meeting called for that purpose and at which a quorum is present. Any official whom the Tribal Council has requested be removed by the General Council shall be informed of the charges and given an opportunity to prepare and present a defense, including presenting witnesses and other evidence at the Special Meeting.
