Obviously, it would be a scorched-earth, last-resort type of thing, but is it possible?

New York Non-Profit Corporation Law says:

(c) An action to procure a judgment removing an officer for cause may be brought by the attorney-general, by any director, by ten percent of the members, whether or not entitled to vote, or by the holders of ten percent of the face value of the outstanding capital certificates, subvention certificates or bonds having voting rights. The court may bar from re-election or reappointment any officer so removed for a period fixed by the court.

Could a single member of the Board of Directors file an action in the New York courts to remove Wayne LaPierre for cause, and let the courts sort it out?

Also, if it is possible, the burden would only be a preponderance of the evidence, right?
