House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) had been planning to call up on the House floor last week a measure from Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) that would have removed him as Speaker of the House if it succeeded—intending to embarrass Meadows—but abandoned the plan after his entire leadership structure learned that they did not have the votes to re-elect him as Speaker before the August recess.
“[House Majority Leader Kevin] McCarthy was making phone calls—he was whipping it—and so was [House Majority Whip] Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA),” a senior conservative movement leader who’s had many personal and direct discussions with various House GOP members about this told Breitbart House Speaker Rep.

“[House Majority Leader Kevin] McCarthy was making phone calls—he was whipping it—and so was [House Majority Whip] Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)...
“I know members personally who were called by Steve Scalise. So they had the entire leadership whip team frantically making phone calls to members to whip the vote because they wanted to attempt to embarrass Meadows and call the vote [on Wednesday last week] so it’s not hanging over Boehner’s head.
“What they found out was the exact opposite. They found out bad things would happen, that literally they would be calling the vote without knowing what would happen. Therefore, they did not call the vote and now they have this issue hanging over John Boehner’s head for the next five weeks.”

A relative of a friend was one of his many mistresses in Ohio. Maybe he just needs to spend more time with friends.
One has to check on the game rules the House plays with and uses.
Meadows was just on Laura Ingraham’s morning show (delayed broadcast 1-3pm WFHR 1320 8/3/15) being interviewed by, John Hulocker(?),subbing for Laura.
During that interview, Meadows made no such claim about any vote. He also made it clear his was not a privledged motion but that it could be modified into one. He did express confidence that it would come up after the recess in September. Also he didn’t hammer away at Boehner and resisted doing so, rather reflecting on the direction the house should take .
What?!!! This guy has “many mistresses”?
I thought OBambi was his girl.
That’d the rumor in Ohio. He and John Glenn both have a repetition!
