OPINION

GAUT, J.

1. Introduction

Plaintiff Gary Penrod, the Sheriff of the County of San Bernardino, mounts a facial challenge against Ordinance No. 3875, giving the county board of supervisors the power to remove the sheriff by a four-fifths vote. Penrod's appeal does not involve any actual effort to invoke the removal power. We hold the ordinance is facially constitutional and affirm the summary judgment in favor of the county.
