If, in the recess of the senate, the governor is satisfied that such officer is inefficient, derelict, committed such violation of Chapter 102., section 2921.42, or section 2921.43 of the Revised Code, or corrupt, he may suspend such officer from his office and report the facts to the senate at its next session. If in such report the senate advises and consents to the removal, such officer shall be removed, but otherwise he shall be restored to his office.
