I would be in favour of this if it were optional, and the 'leader' was demoted, rather than removed from the clan.
For example, A is a clan leader. B is a deputy leader.
A doesn't log in for six months (the amount of time your GE offers cancel themselves after - seems like a good period of time to me).
B is then (after six months) given the option to become leader and A becomes deputy leader (or a new 'ex-leader' rank), meaning that if A were to return at some point, they wouldn't have lost all of their orts/ability to contribute to the citadel/clan hiscore xp gains/etc.
If B (as the new leader) wished to remove A from the clan, they would have that power once they became the leader, but it wouldn't be forced upon them.
If B wished to remain as deputy leader, despite A being inactive, nothing would change except for an option in clan settings that would allow them to assume ownership at any time, should they wish.
Obviously, if A returned, this option would be removed. The timer would also be reset if A were to log in.
Also, while we're on the topic, can we get a way for a leader to voluntarily step aside without having to leave the clan?
