[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.

The WH appears to be caving .
I read Miller supports this disaster bill on Thursday and did not believe .
Now , it looks bad .
That’s great, Steve, thanks for sharing.
Trump has no reason to break a promise for no political gain. He has been about promises made and kept and I see no gain for anyone if he breaks this promise. He’s a very smart fellow. He remembers and is proud of fulfilling promises.
Vacate the chair. Now!
Ryan’s hoping and praying to be removed from office forcibly, so he can run for president as the anti-Trump.
He’ll get crushed...hilarity ensues!
Everyone CALL the WH on Monday.
Burn the WH lines down .
Don't let The WH aides ram thru Amnesty .
What’s the hold up?
Do it!!!!!!!!!
Just do it.

I will believe it when I see it, but Godspeed to those who have the guts to try, because it may be the key to keeping the House past November.
One thing is certain - Ryan is selling out the country for some backdoor sweetheart, big payoff deal he has arranged. This is the continuing story of RINOS putting their self-interests ahead of the country’s. It is also in stark contrast to POTUS whose every decision always puts the country’s interests first. The entrenched Deep State is not going to give up their corrupt gravy train without a fight. Sending Ryan into early retirement would provide a strong message to the Deep State that business as usually has ended under Trump.
The WH is now supporting the Ryan K Street Amnesty treason bill .
That is not true.
WELL SAID!!!! DITTOS!!!!
Words mean zip.
Now if they wanna do it they should just go ahead and do it.
Typical DC Kabuki theater totally sucks hard.
Call the WH on Monday and demand an answer.
You know something else ?
Just as long as we don’t get McCarthy.

We need to burn up the WH Phone Lines .
The Ryan Bill will destroy the US .
Trump is stabbing US in the back if he lets Ryan
Amnesty destroy US ,
Better late than never. Ryan is a the worst example of a RINO.
A good idea! The Dim’s have NOBODY to run against Trump. Ryan says he wants to run against him so he should switch.
He could change a couple positions like on abortion and the Dims could have themselves a compromise Presidential Candidate with a fighting chance where now they have NONE.
