Oh, in the RW, sure. It was in Sartar that I thought we'd gone from one extreme to the other. If not, that's fine by me.

Checking KoS.... A clan chief: "the council and the folk, both of whom have separate ways of removing him from office, should the need arise."
Not that we're told what those ways are.
I can't find anything about removing a king. The ways of becoming one seem to echo the "how Orlanth became king" myths, so perhaps you want a myth about how Orlanth got kicked out - tricky! TR p 146, where he gets exiled, is about all I can find.
But then I take it whatever the "right" way is, Blackmor used the "my warband's bigger than yours" argument.
