Some Republicans are looking to stage an internal coup using a playbook employed during an attempted ouster of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
“We’ve researched the rules thoroughly and there has been a lot of discussion on how to handle this,” Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale told Newsmax. Cheney ”is out of step with the conference in such a monumental way.”
Rosendale was the first House Republican to call for Cheney’s removal as the House Republican Conference chair after her renegade vote.
Under current GOP caucus rules, any member can trigger a request for a panel to consider whether a member is fit to remain in their post. As conference chair, however, Cheney would be entitled to select panel members and stock it with her allies.
GOP insurgents say that they would counter this move by invoking rule 6(d), allowing the full Republican conference to weigh in in an up or down vote if they get 50 signatures.

Good. This suits my vindictive nature. We will see how far it goes.
The author is an imbecile. This is not a coup. A coup is when you evict someone by force or the threat of force. This is basically an ouster via majority vote, i.e. democracy in action.
All we can do right now is tear down the GOP and take the RINOs with it.

I am all for it. You lead.
That’s one definition, here’s another:

She pulled off quite a coup when she snagged the usually reclusive author for an interview.
Matt Gaetz @mattgaetz · 3h Liz Cheney should not be the Chair of the Republican Conference.
Mine also. Do the others the same.
‘ Unfortunately, the Leftist Republicans in the House outnumber the Freedom Caucus and other conservatives.
Liz Cheney, as a very new Representative, got immediately elevated to her #3 leadership position by the Leftist side of the House Republicans.
If the House ends up keeping Cheney as a leader, it will be a constant reminder for Republican voters to remain apathetic.
He wasn’t going to do it on this own. This is the workaround.
197 to 10 in favor of not impeaching Trump.
Liz Cheney should be cleaning toilets. She is no leader.
Republicans.
What makes us think he is not doing that right now?
Her being put into leadership just because she was sick Cheney’s wife in the first place shows you what is wrong with the GOP..
Just more of the swamp
“””197 to 10 in favor of not impeaching Trump.”””
I truly hope you are right and I am wrong.
Anyone who doesn’t have a vindictive nature already had better get one.
Not that it matters a lot, but she is “sick Cheney’s” daughter.
