It wasn’t 8. It was a majority.

Re: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2023/house-speaker-vote-kevin-mccarthy/

Only 8 republicans voted to oust McCarthy The other 208 votes came from the democrats.

The point I was trying to make is that regardless of whether you're for or against McCarthy, a process that permits a tiny minority of republicans to remove a republican Speaker is a bad process. In the case of McCarthy - 208 democrats and 8 republicans were responsible for his ouster. A process that gives democrats that much power/leverage is not a good process - IMHO. BTW - McCarthy was never my choice to be Speaker. I simply don't like the process that removed him.
