deposable
Able to oust
Deposable describes someone or something that can be removed from power or position.
A deposable monarch lacks the security of absolute rule.
The word applies to leaders, officials, or authorities whose tenure depends on the will of others—they can be overthrown, ousted, or dismissed.
Less commonly, deposable means capable of giving a deposition in legal proceedings.
