Yes and it sounds like Boehner is a lock anyway (sigh). This will get some members and voters back up and cause trouble.
“sounds like Boehner is a lock anyway (sigh). “
Just the opposite- Boehner’s bosses want this rule because he is definitely NOT a lock.
Depending on the exact electoral results, only about fifteen Members need to deny him their vote.
Then he would have to get Dem votes- which the scumbag would probably do.
The most likely result of this is that enough conservatives will vote against him, and continue to withhold their vote until they get concessions- including immunity from this rule.
