What the amendment does: remove neglect of duty or abuse of authority as required grounds for a VoNC. Raise the required support for a VoNC to go to a vote.
Rationale: The mandate of the officer comes from a curial vote. If 2/3 of that same body decide they no longer have confidence in the officer, that is in itself proof enough the officer's functioning is compromised. A VoNC is not a trial or an impeachment in which the accused needs to be protected from his accusers by a burden of proof of allegations of a particular nature or severity. Confidence, not guilt, is what matters. If this amendment passes, officers remain sufficiently protected from capricious attempts to remove them by the raised number of required supporters, the supermajority required in a VoNC and the minimum required 28 days between successive attempts at a VoNC.
Feel free to comment or correct any mistakes I made. I went through the constitution, but it's been a long while and perhaps I missed something.
