Leader McConnell Urges House Republicans to Get Rid of Motion to Vacate the Chair Rule
CSpan ^ | 10/4/23

Posted on 10/04/2023 2:36:50 PM PDT by cotton1706

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urges his fellow Republicans in the House to get rid of the rule that allows a single member to file a motion to vacate the chair, saying it makes the speaker's job "near impossible." He also says he hopes the Senate will move forward with regular order on remaining appropriations bills ahead of the mid-November government funding deadline.

"You're not supposed to have some means to remove us from our vaunted positions of power, ya see!

We're supposed to be allowed, once installed, to stay in our position of power until WE decide to retire, or are removed by a Democrat.

Those are the ONLY two options that should be allowed."

I remember when that idiot Ryan demanded no Motion to Vacate as a condition of his accepting the speakership. Would have been easy to say, “Okay, then step aside,” but the idiot GOP agreed.

If McConnell disagrees with a rule, I’m more than likely going to be for it.

This is all to defend the Military Industrial Complex from losses.

McCarthy agreed to it. All he had to do was do what he promised.

The idiot Hannity once again had Gingrich on. Gingrich was again harping that Gaetz needs to be removed from congress because in essence he sacked his own quarterback.

Well Newt, thanks to your big tent we find ourselves in the predicament we are in today.

Here’s another analogy...

How about this, the center finds out the QB has been working with the opposing team by signaling the next play, and working with bookies to throw the game. meanwhile finding out the coach on the opposing team has told your QB, don’t worry if your team throws you under the bus, we got yer back as long as you play for our team. And your QB makes that deal with the devil.

Then it’s time to take another look at the bench.

What part of that is hard to understand newt?

Hannity then mentioned Jordan and newt threw in Scalise.

See ya newt! Time to fold your tent and go home!

I wonder if he is aware that the base hates him with a passion that they reserve for people like Hillary Clinton? A total smug POS

Now that Gaetz got his fame at ‘overthrowing the speaker’ will he have the guts to run for the speakership himself. And make the pledge that if he is not elected he will immediately resign as a member of congress? I doubt it.
