118th Congress - Neutered Dog Attempts to Legislate

Not open for further replies.
Not legal apparently (looked it up already), but karma would require not filling McConnell's Senate seat if he retires until the next election in 2024.
 
Well, assuming McConnell's replacement isn't going to be the minority leader, I meant a vote to backfill any vacancies on committees for anyone who becomes minority leader in exchange for backfilling Feinstein's.
 
So, McCarthy announces that they're forming subcommittees to investigate impeachment of Joe Biden, but he won't answer any of the media's questions.

MTG stated she was going to shut down the government unless she got an impeachment inquiry started, admitting she has McCarthy's nuts in her purse.

And now Matt Gaetz, yes, that one, publicly humiliated McCarthy on the House floor stating that McCarthy should give up his speaker position because he's p*ssy whipped.



Now I dont know the rules, so maybe this hypothetical isn't in play, but does the whole house need to vote (simple majority still?) for McCarthy to vacate the seat?

If they do, do the Dems vote to remove McCarthy or do they vote to keep him?

IMO, if they vote to remove him (despite how correct it may be) it would give the optics that they have something to hide. If they vote to keep him, that could escalate the kangaroo court.

It's an interesting development.

If the GOP is unable to keep their own Speaker with their own majority, you'd have to be quite the idiot lacking any sincerity to argue that it's the Dems trying hide something.




So cue.............

He's so neutered a single Republican can vacate his Speakership. Then we all pause to select a new Speaker.
 
Do they vote to vacate the Speakership or do they vote for a Speaker?

If the former you definitely vote for him. Talk about a kiss of death to be saved by the Dems.

If the latter you vote for a Dem Speaker, and you vote for somebody more interesting, younger, and dynamic* than the usual suspects. And for god's sake you vote unanimously to underline the difference.

* Vote for Ilhan Omar and give the Right a collective aneurism.

Former I think.
 
Yeah, it's the former. Motion to vacate, and it only needs a few ayes if any, to pass and then they vote for a new speaker. This is basically what did in Boehner, and has been the axe over McCarthy's neck for 8 months. Their big issue is that there's no "next man up". So again it will be a ridiculous pissing match between these braindead simpletons in the HFC and McCarthy.

Vacating the chair pretty much guarantees a long and protracted shut down, for better or worse. I believe 100% that the Democrats will come out getting the better of it, but that doesn't change the fact that there are real and meaningful consequences to shutdowns.

That said, let these idiots show the whole world what children they are.

I think you only need one member to bring the motion, but you still need the majority to actual vacate/remove him. And you would need to remove the current speaker before you would vote for a new speaker.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/speaker-of-the-house-ousted-motion-to-vacate-rcna64902

Under the new House rules passed Monday, only one member of Congress — Democrat or Republican — is needed to bring a "motion to vacate," which forces a vote on removing the speaker. That would need only a simple majority of the House to pass to oust McCarthy.

You abstain from the vote entirely.

I am not sure that really does much although it would be funny!

I guess it depends how the vote will go. How many want him out and who are the likely replacements.

It could be very interesting. The House GOP might implode over impeaching Biden when half the Senate GOP is against it and they don't have the votes anyways. Everyone gets how dumb it is except the Short Bus Caucus...so I guess the best bet is keep Qevin in power.
