[Discuss] Feature request - remove council member from power

Could we get an option to remove a council member from power without
questioning their nobility? In the other thread, people are giving
examples of corrupt bankers as being a legitimate use of the strip
feature, which is nonsense (plenty of noblemen were corrupt, that
doesn't stop them being noble), however it is the only way to remove
their power (except possibly infils - do you lose council positions
when seriously wounded these days?).

"General" is not an inherited title, you don't have a birthright to
it, so there is no reason why a ruler shouldn't be able to remove it
from you on a whim. (Depending on government type, there may or may
not be an outcry - removing an elected official without a good reason
would probably cause trouble, while removing an appointed official
probably wouldn't.)

With "remove from council position" and "question nobility" separated,
the question nobility option could be used a little better. It would
be good if the ruler using it doesn't remove their titles, but marks
them as questioned, and then there is some kind of vote to determine
what happens. For most purposes, a noble is someone that everyone
accepts as being a noble (there are more precise legal definitions,
but they aren't so important in everyday life), so a vote makes sense.
