Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quo warranto is a legal proceeding initiated to challenge a person's right to hold a public office. It can be used to remove an officeholder who lacks the necessary qualifications or who has acquired the position through fraud or unlawful means. Recall is a process by which voters can remove an elected official from office before the end of their term. Impeachment is a formal charge of wrongdoing against a public official. Quo vadis is a Latin phrase that means "where are you going?" and is not related to the removal of public officials.
