Hey, if it take only one member of the House to bring up a vote to oust the speaker?

After the GOBherds elect their person in as speaker, the should pull the same thing especially if it is some radical thug they vote in! Thus this rule hasn’t been changed by them?

I think the likes Gaetz, Jordan or any of those other pandering Trumpers should never become speaker

Yes, the procedural gloves are off. We should try any dirty tricks that are legit Walleye Oct 2023 #1
And what would this accomplish? brooklynite Oct 2023 #6
Well for one thing I think we need to keep Jim Jordan from being speaker, if it all possible Walleye Oct 2023 #10
And this wouldn't accomplish that. brooklynite Oct 2023 #11
Well, hope springs eternal Walleye Oct 2023 #12
That rule will almost certainly be changed with the next Speaker LonePirate Oct 2023 #2
Sadly, that will be likely Attilatheblond Oct 2023 #3
McCarthy was dumb to sign onto it and doubt it will stay the rule. But who wants the job anyway? dutch777 Oct 2023 #4
Do they need to wait until the next session? LeftInTX Oct 2023 #5
No. They can change it any time. LonePirate Oct 2023 #7

The only reason Dems voting against McCarthy had an impact was that the Rs were divided.

No Such expectation for Jordan.

I don’t think Repubs are stupid enough to allow that rule to survive much longer, especially with calls to raise it to 50% of the caucus already coming from some of them.

I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia than try to herd all those feral gutter cats.

For how long will we pursue this "winning" strategy? Until the 2024 elections?

The longer this goes the worse it is for them.

But, really, fuck 'em. They brought this on and they can solve it.

I know it’s not a good idea, but yet, if it’s Jordan, Gaetz, yada yada?

But who ever it is, they gonna shut down the government no matter what!
