Rep. Steve King (Iowa) says his fellow House Republicans "are considering" removing Speaker Paul Ryan, who has announced he is retiring after this Congress.
“It’s kind of odd that he has as much power as he has,” King said in an interview with Breitbart News Tonight released Friday.
“But I do predict, and it is happening, that that power is diminishing. I also have got information that there are — I’ll say ‘members’ — I say that plurally, with knowledge, that are considering introducing a motion to vacate the chair,” King continued. “If they do that, that will throw this place into a tizzy and force the kind of election for a Speaker that may bring out someone who is a lot stronger on this.”
Speculation has been growing among rank-and-file Republicans that Ryan won't be able to hold on to his gavel for the rest of the year, though few are calling on him to resign early.
Last month, Ryan pushed back on reports that he may be asked to step down.

Make it so.
He should not be asked to do squat, he should be forcefully removed.
Works for me. Jim Jordan (R-OH) should be Speaker of the House!
Better do more than consider.
If you leave him there, I can only assume that you want him there.
Ryan needs the time to lock in some wins for his owners.
Get him the “H” out of there NOW.
GOPers love to talk, they sure as hell don’t like to actually act.
Has he switched to Democrat yet? He might as well.
We can only hope they do it!!

Ryan & Warren
Good. Burn it down. Literally or figuratively.
We can be certain that House Speaker Jim Jordan would not be advancing a giant Amnesty bill at this moment in history.
Which is of course why Mr. Ryan (D, Vatican) needs to become part of history.
I don’t quite understand, with elections less than five months away, will it was any good to elect an interim speaker? Remember GOP control of the House is threatened in these mid terms, so if they do this, the new speaker could have a very short stay.
Simple truth, remove Ryan and you keep the house. Unless you replace him with mini me McCarthy. The problem is now they have figured the only way to get rid of Trump is to give the Rats the house.
The choices may actually be... remove Ryan as speaker or lose the House. I believe that Ryan is so deep into the swamp and hates Trump so much that losing the House is his revenge. Revenge, even though Trump has not done anything to Ryan personally.
Widows peak Eddie Munster Ryann says he’s gone after this year. Make it so…NOW!
Let me guess: they’re going to wait until after the election to do this.
he needs to go just for lying through his teeth that President Trump supports his bullshit “compromise” bill ...
