What process could be initiated if Mayor Adams fails to present a viable contingency plan for stabilizing his administration?

If Mayor Adams fails to present a clear contingency plan for managing the city and stabilizing his administration, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has warned that he will convene a panel that could potentially remove the mayor from office. This represents an alternative to the governor's removal powers. The comptroller expressed that the priority is for the mayor to articulate how he can effectively govern New York City despite being already compromised by allegations and the resignation of key deputies. This panel represents a formal accountability mechanism that could be activated if the mayor cannot demonstrate his ability to maintain stable city governance.
