➤ Why can’t managers or officers unilaterally elect or remove directors?
Managers and corporate officers act under authority delegated by the board and shareholders. They do not have inherent corporate power to elect or remove directors because those powers derive from shareholder voting and the company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. Allowing managers unilateral removal would conflict with shareholder governance rights and statutory protections of board independence.
