I would suggest we adjust the wording and use "quit" instead.  I don't really want to get bogged down in a multijurisdictional legal debate on here, but the CMC is confusing - one can resign from a Research Lodge (specifically permitted), and one can resign or be removed from the jurisdiction in reference to one's office, so I have no idea what's allowed and what's not.  I think we need to fiddle with wording, because CMC doesn't make sense, and it not making sense doesn't make sense either.
