Yes because many of the same people who voted for him wanted him gone, because he lied to get elected.The reason politicians do this is they figure they will lie to get elected then deal with after some time in office.The people of Egypt stood up and the via the military he was tossed out.The people have the right to change their mind and throw them out before they are able to cause damage.

Not really. We are bound by the law and can't throw anybody out until it has been proven that he broke the laws that bind him. The proper procedure has to be followed, and that can't happen until after at least some damage has been done.

Well Morsi lied to get elected and was trying to turn Egypt into an Islamist state.Sure, they knew they were voting for the muslim brotherhood but figured he'd govern moderately and that proved not to be case.Fed up, they had him thrown out before the cancer had time to spread and was not treatable.Sometimes, have to say to hell with "proper procedure"

The big stopper there is that the ruling elite can and does abuse its power to tailor laws that way that it protects them. Berlusconi in Italy has done so very obviously, but the elites do so in every country. Even the basis and fundament of legislation and law-making, constitutions, get eroded. Same abuses happen with the resources of a nation, they get abused to the max since the one elected into office has only temporary access to them and so thinks he must make as much use of them as possible as long as they are available to him. Result: constantly accumulating negative effects. The record debt burden is the most obvious symptom.
