"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."

McConnell seems not to understand that removal would not take place if the speaker has the necessary support. McCarthy lost his support.

The motion to vacate isn’t the issue. Support is the issue.

"Leader McConnell Urges House Republicans to Get Rid of Motion to Vacate the Chair Rule..."

..... Well .... If we would like to follow Biblical precedent check out Deuteronomy 19:15....

.

Deuteronomy 19:15

“One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.

McConnell abruptly changed his mind and said “keep the rule!” after Trump said he’d be willing to be Speaker...

This is the rule Pelosi eliminated for herself. The Freedom Caucus brought it back in their compromise to support RINO McCarthy.

It is a very valuable rule, that’s why RINO McConnell is sticking his nose into House business.

If you don’t want to be ‘vacated’ try keeping your word, for once.

Of Course he does.

Too bad there isn’t a similar one in effect in the Senate.
