Hoi, There are several countries where it is possible to organise a referendum in order to vote an incumbent out of his office. In Venezuela the president Hugo Chavez has survived such a referendum in 2004.

Also, it is strange that the community can put people to the Board but can't take them back. Maybe the argument is that you simply don't vote for them at the next election.
I am curious where "in the real world" there is this possibility. In the countries I live(d) in, I can't think of any process allowing to "vote someone out" once you've voted them in.
Any examples?
