Here is what the Scripture says about a deacon: qualifications for a deacon's character are clearly outlined as the person must be blameless, the husband of one wife, a good household manager, respectable, honest, not addicted to alcohol and not greedy. According to the Word, the office of deacon is an honor and a blessing. "For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus" (see 1 Timothy 3: 8-13).
Considering the above, if the 'deacon' is not matching said qualifications, this is grounds for their removal. Basically, its like any job/position in life but Church positions gain better standings in Christ.

Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor.

This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.
