<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">removes from office</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ousts that I've seen before include "Replaces" , "Removes from office" , "Throws out" , "Forces someone out and takes their place" , "Drives out, ejects from office" .)
