Then he can commit any crime he wants and no one can demote him

He's the most powerful man in Starfleet

Nah, he can't beat Chief O'Brien the Union man.

He'll be demoted to ensign. That's much lower than ensign.

We've got the best ensigns in all of Starfleet!

Is this a Simpsons line repurposed for Voyager?

Wiggum: That's some good work, Lou. You'll make sergeant for this.

Lou: Uh, I already am sergeant, Chief.

Wiggum: Perhaps you are, but I say Bob goes back to jail.

Bob: [stammering] But surely--I mean, I. Caught. Cecil.

Wiggum: Maybe so, but Lou here says you were resisting arrest.

Lou: No I didn't Chief.

Wiggum: Quiet Lou! Or I will bust you down to Sergeant so fast it'll make your head spin!

Two great tastes combined

The format is based on Joseph Hellar's book Catch 22. I don't remember the exact details, but one of the main characters is constantly being threatened with demotion and promotion in this manner.

Damn that was a fun episode

Harry: we should enter the Borg nebula. Either we'll get home or they'll kill us, either is fine.

One of Janeway's ancestors from the 20th century was a certain Police Chief from a small town called Springfield.

Wasn’t Tom Paris promoted, demoted, and promoted again in the run of the show?
