What happens to the validity of the board's actions if a ground for removal exists?

The correct understanding is that if a ground for removal exists, the actions of the board are generally still considered valid. This means that while there may be a legitimate reason to question the appropriateness of the board members' actions or their positions, it does not retroactively invalidate decisions that have already been made. The board's actions remain lawful unless specifically challenged in a manner that leads to their invalidation.

In many cases of governance, the existence of potential grounds for removal—say, misconduct or failure to meet certain standards—does not automatically negate the authority or decisions made by the board prior to any removal proceedings. It is essential to maintain the continuity and stability of the organization’s operations.

The other options imply a degree of automatic invalidation or suspension that does not usually align with the operational norms of governance boards, where decisions often remain effective until a formal adjudication processes take place.
