After being indicted on five criminal counts, NYC Mayor Eric Adams insists he will fight against these claims, displaying a defiant stance despite calls for his resignation.
Under the NYC charter, Mayor Adams could be removed from office through two avenues: a decision by Gov. Kathy Hochul or the formation of a rarely invoked 'inability committee'.
While Gov. Kathy Hochul has the authority to remove Adams from office if he is charged with a crime, their close relationship complicates the likelihood of such action.
The city's charter stipulates that an 'inability committee' could be formed to determine Adams' capacity to serve, indicating potential pathways to his removal from office.
