Governor Hochul can remove Mayor Adams from office. Here's how.

Many New York Democrats are calling on Mayor Eric Adams to resign following last week's indictment on federal corruption charges. But the Mayor says he's not going anywhere.

Adams will only be able to "step up" as long Governor Hochul allows him to. The Governor has the ability to remove the Mayor under a provision of the New York State Constitution. The question now is will the Governor choose to utilize her power given the ethical cloud surrounding Adams.

Vin Bonventre, the Jackson Distinguished Professor of Law at Albany Law School, spoke to WNYC's Tiffany Hanssen more about what power the governor has.
