With governor replaced, bringing downfall (12)
I believe the answer is:
overthrowing
'bringing downfall' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'with governor replaced' is the wordplay.
'replaced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with'+'governor'='withgovernor'
'withgovernor' is an anagram of 'OVERTHROWING'.
