by this Charter or by General Law;
B. Violating any express prohibition of this Charter;
C. Conviction for any offense or violation described
in § 211(A)(3); or

directed to him or her has been filed, shall be eligible for appointment
to fill a vacancy in the office of Member of Council or Mayor for
