Just had a nice thought: what if Pelosi is overthrown as Speaker—she looks like she is done anyway—she may be asked by her side to step down, or she may be forced to retire due to past “indiscretions”(like treason), disguised as health issues?
This could get very interesting.
Not likely!
At Nancy’s insitance Dems changed the rules for removing a Speaker!
From my congressman’s weekly letter...
“Two more changes empower Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker now returned to power.
The House Speaker possesses considerable authority. It is appropriate that members have a tool to keep her, or anyone in that position, accountable. Such a tool exists in the “motion to vacate the chair” to remove the Speaker. Befitting such a drastic step, such a motion has rarely been filed. The last time was in 2015, and before that, 1910.
Although rarely used, the new majority weakened the motion to vacate by requiring that a majority of a party’s membership support the motion.
Further, as I write this, the House has not yet voted on the part of the rules allowing Nancy Pelosi to sue on behalf of all the American people to defend Obamacare. When people in the Ninth District think about who they want making decisions on their behalf regarding health care, I doubt Pelosi comes to mind.
