One could suppose that somehow you think your link proves to you that "an elected official trying to subvert democracy".

Maybe we have a disagreement about what a mayoral election is? I think it means that the voters decide who they want to hold the power of mayor. I think that any effort to change who has what mayoral powers after such an election is a subversion of the voters' lawful rights.

The way government is done in New York is very clearly set out by law. Rudy attempted to modify it by agreement between the sitting mayor and the mayor elect, without bothering to change those laws in the way that City law dictates.

Geoff, what did you make of this exchange?:

QUESTION: Sheldon Silver has gone on record saying that you have approached him and other leaders involved saying that you're seeking to overturn term limits. Sheldon Silver said this on the record. Is he speaking accurately?

GIULIANI: That's a possibility. I mean, we might do that, but I'm much more hopeful that we can work out a unified approach to handling this.
