"When the August recess is over, if Meadows wants to—or any other member wants to—they could offer the motion to vacate the chair and remove Boehner as Speaker of the House as a privileged resolution, which means it gets a floor vote in full without the consent of Boehner’s leadership team. That means the Speaker is extraordinarily vulnerable, and his conservative opposition could make a move whenever, wherever they want to—and when they have the votes to remove him from office."

From the article. That is news to me as I never knew a "privileged resolution" existed. If that is the case, everyone should encourage Meadows to do just that if he knows for certain he has the votes to remove Bonehead "orange man" Boehner.

I would submit that any Republican who votes to save Boehner should be ousted in the primaries. Maybe if they feared that, they’d finally undo some of the damage they did by electing him as Speaker.

That’s just silly.

In order for that to happen a republican would need to have a spine.

Meadows should do it if he knows he doesn’t have the vote. His butt is Boner’s anyway. So make the rinos go on record.
