Can “removal” mean to move **to** a different place in contexts other than furniture, etc.?
0
The OLD includes the following meaning for the noun "removal" in British English:
an act of taking furniture, etc. from one house to another
Is the use of this noun with a similar meaning in expressions such as
this discussion was marked for removal to Sec.II
incorrect and to be substituted with, e.g.,
this discussion was marked to be moved to Sec.II
Clarification in response to comments: my question is if removal can be used in combination with the new location, i.e., "removal to somewhere".

From Constitution of the State of New York Adopted in 1846: In case of the impeachment of the Governor, his removal from office, death, refusal to qualify, resignation, or absence from the State, the President of the Senate shall [do something]. No "furniture removal" implications there.

From one of the sources listed in a Google Books search: "In this situation the secretary of war on May 2, 1833, commissioned Col. John J. Abert and Gen. Enoch Parsons to approach the Creeks with a view to making a new treaty, providing for their immediate removal to the West where they would be relieved from the wretched condition under which they lived in Alabama."
