Nothing would prevent a democracy from having harsh rules for traitorous or incompetent leaders, but the same democracy if it were that moral would not be what we have today and so the chances of needing to have such rules would be very low. Yet, here's the paradox, by the time such rules would prove urgently necessary, the democracy would be in such a state of decomposure and corruption that even if such rules lingered somewhere in the law books, they would or could never be applied, fully or partially.
At which point you may agree that laws are just as good as the people who write and vote them. I've read and heard enough about how the justice is broken to know that there are rules, and then there are people who may or may not uphold said rules. Sometimes it's very easy to hide corruption under the face of a mistake, of incompetence. You know, an oopsie. A big enough oopsie that one's life gets completely ruined in courts.
