Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)96% has filed a motion aimed at unseating Boehner immediately as Speaker of the House.
“Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has filed a motion to try to force Speaker John Boehner from his leadership post,” Politico wrote in a breaking news alert. “The move, called a motion to vacate the chair, represents a new level of opposition to GOP leadership from the conservative wing of the House Republican Conference. The motion can be postponed for several days before consideration.”
It’s unclear if this will be successful, but over the past few years there have been two major coup attempts at Boehner. Both were unsuccessful—but extraordinarily close to succeeding—and centered around plays at the beginning of this Congress and the beginning of the last Congress.
This move will focus on centering around a different strategy, and it all comes after Boehner’s leadership team unsuccessfully attempted retaliation against Meadows for opposing Obamatrade. They had tried to pull a subcommittee chairmanship from Meadows—and did so, but then reversed themselves under enormous pressure from the GOP conference and the American people, turning Meadows into a conservative movement hero of sorts.
Boehner’s office has not immediately responded to a request for comment but conservative movement stalwarts including nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin have called for his ouster in recent days.
Meadows is a highly respected conservative member of the House and is intricately involved in the House Freedom Caucus. He’s plugged in party-wide, and wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t think it could be successful.

Woo hoo!! Go, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)!!
Not sure who he his, but he has to be 100% better than the Lying, Weeping Bonehead!!
Go dude go!!!!
Let it happen!
That will probably end up doing more harm to Meadows’ political position than getting Boehner excised.
At the other end of the Capitol, the rebels couldn’t get more than 3 supporters during the weekend Amendments battles.
House Pubbies have had 2 occasions to deseat Boehner and failed at both. Most of Meadows’ colleagues are probably hiding under their desks.

Boehner has been bought and paid for by the crony chamber of communist! Click Any Pic To Enlarge  In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that‘s gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.". |

This action is going to “smoke out” the worthless RINO turds! We will finally know who’s with us and who’s against us. Next year will be the election of a lifetime!

“That will probably end up doing more harm to Meadows’ political position than getting Boehner excised.”
What has he got to lose? He’s already on the outside looking in.

This is NOT a motion that has to be voted on.
For that Meadows needed to file a *privileged* motion which he did not do. This will go to the Rules Committee and can die there.
Good thing nonetheless, of course!
Whatever...that is so 2013.
a little in DC today
I wonder if Jordan will vote for Boehnor again. That will show beyond a doubt that he is FOS if he does.
I agree. I don’t know anything about Meadows, but anything would be better than the Boner.
