There is a rarely used motion available to Members of the U.S. House who are dissatisfied with their leadership. The form is: I move to vacate the chair."
Sounds innocuous but the effects can be shattering. It is the equivalent of a "no-confidence" vote in the British House of Commons.
If a majority agree with the motion to vacate the chair the current Speaker is stripped of his or her office and a new election must be held.

Ryan should resign as SpeakerOf course he should. He's totally sold out to his masters. He just can't help himself, writing a bill that gives huge profits to insurance companies. He arrogantly forgot that the reason he has this unbelievable level of power is because people who want government out of their lives voted for Trump and a US Senate majority.
It's what we've suspected all along. Traitorous Republicans wanted campaign issues for themselves, but not have a majority which gave them no excuse to not make good on their campaign promises.

We’re going to lose the Congress and the country because of these disfunctional pathetic idiot Republicans. That’s how stupid they are.

You make good points. Ryan didn’t even see the great opportunity he was given.

Not if they boot Ryan and do an immediate course correction.

I hope they replace Ryan immediately. But they aren’t going to pass a more conservative health care bill. I don’t think.

To: Fantasywriter
Has anyone actually read this bill, that Paul Ryan was pushing?
Is it available on the Internet that the average person can go to and read?
just wondering..
I just put my faith and trust in the Republicans, but should have known better as many of them are not standing by the POTUS that we, the voters chose...
