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.”

King is delusional on several aspects of this plan.

First, a motion to vacate would be immediately followed by a motion to table from another member. That would pass and the motion to vacate would never see the light of day again.

Second, even if it wasn't tabled there aren't 218 votes in the House to remove Ryan.

Third, even if there were there aren't 218 votes to elect Jim Jordan or anyone else Speaker.

Exactly. Most gasbaggery.

It seems this “oust the Speaker” talk is floated every so often, I suppose for political consumption by the gullible. It’s total nonsense.

Like him or not, Ryan is high up on the Swamp totem pole. He is GOPe. He ain’t going no where. No way will the Chamber of Commerce let their 2020 candidate get tarnished.
