Removes from office (5)
I believe the answer is:
ousts
'removes from office' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(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" .)
