But what if the Governor won't remove said mayor? And what if all of city government from the solicitor to the city council decided in a secret closed-door meeting that the definition of "conviction" was not really a finding in a court of law but instead a state "effective upon sentencing"?
Are her decisions legally binding? Can she get anything done when she could (theoretically) be sent to jail any day now? And who will be riding in the back of the convertible in the Hampden "Mayor's Christmas Parade" next Sunday?
Arnold Weiner?!

Clearly, she should go, but if she gets a sentence without jail time, she'll probably muddle through to at least the next election.
O'Malley would seem to be in a tight spot. On one hand, the constitution is clear that a single conviction is all that is needed to expel her from office. On the other, the support of her political base is required for his reelection next year.
I bet he tries to find some way of putting it off until the appeal.
