Section 303 of the California Corporations Code generally permits removal of any or all of the directors without cause if the removal is "approved by the outstanding shares" (defined in Section 152).
Section 168(1) of the Act states that the shareholders can remove a director by passing an ordinary resolution at a meeting of the company.
Removal of directors and officers is resolved by a vote of shareholders in a special meeting, by majority vote of the shareholders. Alternatively, a shareholders resolution, documenting in writing the decision made by shareholders, must be signed and placed in the corporation's minute book.
In large, publicly held companies, shareholders exert their greatest control through electing the company's directors. However, in small, privately held companies, officers and directors often own large blocks of shares. Therefore, minority shareholders typically cannot affect which directors are elected.
The shareholders can vote to remove directors from the board before their terms expire, with or without cause, unless the corporation has a staggered board. The shareholders can then vote to replace the directors they removed.

The shareholders have been given a power under section 169 of the Act, that they may remove a director by passing an ordinary resolution. This power is usually exercised by the shareholders in situations where a director is acting mala-fide and ultra-vires their authority.
