It can’t be done. Impeachment only applies to the members of the Executive and Judical branches.

Ryan is in the Legislative branch and can only be replaced by the voters of his district.

Not so. Congress has thrown out several members for various misconduct.

Really... Everybody... If you’re not familiar with how our government works, read these pages on Wikipedia -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment#United_States

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives

That should get you started...

He can be removed from his speakership!

He had already made this deal ahead of time and made it contingent on "agreeing to serve as Speaker!"

If this ever comes to open revolution, I swear we will lose because we will have to spend half our time explaining the pointy end needs to be inserted toward the front of the barrel.

Would it be a recall election? Like they tried doing with Walker?
