    That’s basically getting fired in politics. The government version of the golden parachute. Demote the person to some previous or otherwise far less influential role because it would be too damaging to the political brand or government to outright get rid of them. That’s why Mike Waltz is in the UN after the signalgate leaks with regards to US military operations in Yemen. It’s how institutions counter the Peter principle. Corporate with the golden parachute type deals, government with these demotions.
