I just find it completely odd how Bonehead can just up and postpone this vote, until a candidate of HIS liking is running.
Isn’t that the equivalent of recounting the votes until you achieve your desired outcome?
There were still two viable candidates running when McCarthy got caught with his pants down, I mean dropped out. Why wasn’t the vote held to determine further direction?
I don’t think he can.
When other members of Congress have resigned their notice appears in the Congressional Record. I haven’t found such a notice for Boehner, although there are comments from other Representatives regarding his resignation. I am concerned that he hasn’t provided official notice of his resignation and is instead playing us.
The way things are going with Boo Hoo Boehner, Meadows is going to have to do his thing with his resolution to get Boo Hoo out. It said in part: “The resolution declares that Boehner has “endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 members of Congress and the people they represent.” Looks to me like this is still going on.
I’m not sure exactly the status of the resolution, but I think Meadows can re-file the legislation as ‘privileged,’ meaning that Congress would have to hold a vote within a few days.

Well yes, but you weren't supposed to notice.
