[FULL TITLE] Exclusive — Steve King: Republican House Members Considering Forcibly Removing Paul Ryan from Speakership

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told Breitbart News Tonight earlier this week that House Republicans are considering forcibly removing House Speaker Paul Ryan from the speakership via a “motion to vacate the chair” over Ryan’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“It’s kind of odd that he has as much power as he has,” King said of Ryan during the appearance on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel with Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak on Breitbart News Tonight earlier this week. “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. 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.”

A motion to vacate the chair would call a referendum on Ryan’s speakership to the floor. It could force a vote on whether Republicans want Ryan to remain as speaker as a lame duck for the rest of the year, especially after all these failures in strategy and his efforts to undermine the president with an amnesty bill that the president opposes and said he “certainly” would never sign.

Ryan claimed, falsely, to House Republican members recently in a conference meeting that the president did support the Ryan amnesty bill–something the president confirmed on Fox and Friends on Friday morning was not true. The president opposes the bill and Ryan’s continued claims that Trump did back the bill are now proven to be false.

Old news. Since Trump’s appearance this morning, it appears the White House is walking back a bit. I believe Trump supports at least Goodlatte’s bill.

It ought to be done. But politicians are very reluctant to remove such officials, because it opens the door to possible trouble for them.

So, I guess it’s wait and see. But WE should certainly push for it, however we can.

Similar rumors have been circulating since Ryan said he was leaving at the end of his term.

Until they actually vote him out, it is all speculation and more rumor.

You do realize, of course, that there is power in the numbers. The party with the majority of members, gets to set the agenda, even if there are flaky members in that majority party.

Let him become a "democRAT" after he leaves congress. He won't matter AT THAT POINT. However, he does need to relinquish his speakership NOW, or be taken out.

Ryan doesn’t want to give up the private government plane that flies him back and forth each weekend. He would have to quit Congress immediately if he lost that airplane.
