Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said at a Thursday press conference that House Republicans will rise up against GOP leadership if House Speaker John Boehner tries to rush any immigration reform bill through his chamber of Congress.
“There would be a revolt among Republicans” if Boehner abandoned regular order on this issue, Rohrabacher said in response to a question from Breitbart News at the presser.
According to a recent Politico report, Boehner is seriously considering abandoning regular order to rush through immigration reform. Regular orders is the process by which a bill is supposed to come up through the respective committees of jurisdiction and allow members of those committees to offer amendments, an open and transparent process that then is supposed to continue on the House floor.
“The GOP is also mulling skipping the committee process and instead having lengthy discussions among Republicans to work out the legislation’s kinks,” Politico’s Jake Sherman wrote in the report. “This would allow leading conservatives who are crafting the deal with Democrats to explain the policy. That seems to be the preferred path, according to conversations with several GOP aides.”
If Boehner follows this strategy, he would be abandoning one of the key promises he made to get re-elected as Speaker just a few months ago while several conservative members tried to unseat him. At the time, he guaranteed he would return the House to regular order on all legislation, a promise that ended up helping him turn some who had planned to oppose his re-election as Speaker back into supporters.
In the end, only 12 of the 17 members needed to derail his reelection did not vote for Boehner, allowing him to squeak by in his re-election.

I’d prefer an SUV.
Haha sorry “coup”.
That said, let me explain that is a symbolic move. I read what you quoted and then temporarily worried, about what you seemed to have quoted me on.
Turns out to be ok, but still just making sure nobody confuses what I said. :)
Strictly a figure of speech.
There’s got to be some gay pictures of him somewhere. Or maybe he has a few illegitimate kids. Maybe he has “mistresses” who’ve had abortions. Something is making him cower and cry.
boner is a f-ing collaborator. i don’t care what anyone says. i base it on past performance.
Agreed!

I should have asked, “How is the Majority Leader of the House removed from office...”
Can they please revolt enough to oust His Spinelessness from the Speaker seat?
Communists, Socialists and Labor Unions make “bargains,” but never hold up their end of the agreed to bargain.
Obama loves to make bargains - - - .

Br’er Fox Obama, he love to put Bargain Tarbaby in Bypass Shortcut Alley of Regular Order Congressional Road.
Br’er Rabbit Boehner, he cry a lot, but he do love to whup dat Tarbaby named Bargain up side his haid!
Yazzur, Yazzur. Dat Boehner sho’ is stupid! He never learn!
Except they're all prostitutes. Their jobs are more important than the country.
They’ll still be in office. Elections happen on a fixed schedule so they don’t face the oblivion promised in a true parlematary system ~ they get their salary, same committee assignments and all that. Only thing is the Speaker and his cronies get booted. But they’re still in Congress.
Don’t threaten, promise, then keep you word.
Its not that easy...
Got to get it through so he can keep his next golf date with the community organizer and chief
