"You dare to speak to me in that manner? I am the Cardinal of this Assembly!"
"Not as of ten minutes ago, you aren't."
Revocation is the removal of an Imperial citizen from a position that they hold in the Empire on the grounds of dubious moral character, or outright deficiency in virtue.
Upon the judgment of an appropriate assembly, the civil service will record the individual as being removed of the authority of their office.
Limitations
- The National Assemblies may revoke national titles in the Senate, Synod or Military Council
- The Virtue Assemblies may revoke virtue titles in the Synod
- The Assembly of Nine may revoke the Imperial or national titles in the Senate, Synod or Military Council, except the Throne
- The General Assembly may revoke the Imperial or national titles in the Senate, Synod or Military Council, including the Throne
Special Note: If a senator or general who has been revoked is immediately reinstated by the nation that appointed them, the Nation has chosen to accept that individual in spite of any alleged shortcomings, and they may not be revoked again for the remainder of their term.
A revocation that is carried out on the grounds that the person holding the title is absent from Anvil when their services are needed, or an equivalent reason, is sometimes referred to as a reappointment. This politer phrasing does not carry the stigma of an implied lack of virtue. The implication may be that the office will be restored to the holder at a future summit. It is, however, functionally identical to a revocation.
