How to get Ban Ki-moon out and Condi in
The UN Secretary General must be nominated by the UN Security Council.
Every country has a right to change its mind and change its vote. None of us signed away our freedom to Ban Ki-moon.
We are not now all slaves of Ban Ki-moon with no right to reject our imposed master.
Every permanent member of the security council - the USA, GB, France, Russia & China has a veto over the nomination of the UN Secretary general - and so if any of them change their mind about the incumbent UN Secretary General and want him out, their veto is available to withdraw the nomination of the Security Council.
I would say the way to go would be to take advantage of the UN head quarters being in New York.
The UN is administered from 5 main buildings in the world - New York, Geneva, Vienna, The Hague and Nairobi.
To start the process the US in particular needs to come to its senses about Condi and stop pretending that having her out of power is in some way "a good thing".

- The US President should take short-term control of UN HQ in New York, dismissing Ban Ki-moon.
- The US President should appoint Condi as acting UN Secretary General (New York)
- The Swiss government could also appoint Cond as acting UN Secretary General (Geneva)
- The Austrian government could also appoint Condi as acting UN Secretary (Vienna)
- The Dutch government could appoint Condi as acting UN Secretary General (The Hague)
- The Kenyan government could appoint Condi as acting UN Secretary General (Nairobi)
- Condi should appoint appropriate representatives from countries with dictatorships - so for example, the UN representative for Burma, (oops, "Myanmar" ) , would be Aung San Suu Kyi or her representative in New York, the UN representative for Libya would be the rebel leaders in Benghazi, new representatives for the Arab countries representing the "Arab Spring" revolutions and so on.
- The new UN should then hopefully confirm Condi as permanent UN Secretary General.
