Here's Blueprint's full Truth:
@RepMattGaetz's MAGA holdouts have now forced @KevinMcCarthy to agree to:
-Drive a constitutional amendment to impliment term limits
-Restore the "vacate the chair" rule <---- that's a pretty big f'n deal
-Mandate bills be posted 72 hours before votes, and
-Expand seats available on House Rules Committee
All he has to do now to become Speaker is agree to:
-Balance the budget for WTP
-Drive a Fair Tax Act for WTP
-Support Texas Border Plan
The kicker: If McCarthy fails on either of those promises, then he's out via the "vacate the chair" rule. So he MUST play ball.
Needs to be its own post and stickied
The reality is now that the gavel is in his hand, he'll ignore all of it. As to your points, he won't put effort into anything that the DS doesn't want. He won't step down regardless of what he agreed to. MAGA doesn't have to votes to unseat him. You will now see how McCarthy will be a two faced prick. If you think he'll suddenly have a change of heart you're in for a big disappointment. McCarthy is establishment Uniparty. Remember, Trump endorsed Pence and what did he do? He endorsed McConnell and what did he do? Now he endorsed McCarthy and it will be more of the same. What is the definition of insanity?
The Senate has a say in all bills that are proposed, they can add things or delete things and then it will go back to the House for passage again. Even if a favorable passes both the House and Senate, then demented Joe has to sign it--he will never sign anything good for America/Americans. I hope I am wrong but I don't believe so.
Explain the “vacate the chair” rule? Is it an automatic thing or can it be ignored.
No, It’s akin a show of “no confidence” and needs to go to a vote of the house I believe.
So the rule will mean nothing because the RINO’s who all voted for him the first 12 times wont remove him.
Nit tryna sound like a doomer. Just wanna understand if we actually have the opportunity to kick him out or if he only conceded it because he knows he’ll never be kicked out.
Like sergi wrote.
It's essentially a no confidence motion that can be tabled, and then a vote needs to happen again to see if the speaker stays. In other words, if he loses the support of any of the 2016 who voted for him, he's out like a candle in a hurricane.
Question, is it only the members who voted for him, or does the abstained members count. Is it possible for McCarthy to get any dems to vote for him?
I'm not sure about this: does a vacate motion require a majority to pass? Or does the speaker re-need a majority vote to stay in? I suspect it is the former. Which would mean that dems could certainly vote against him, if a motion was tabled. Dems plus the right number of others (e.g. repubs) would give him the boot.
Either way, it's a big shift backwards for the deepstate, who gained and held control of the speaker position and blocked out the 1 member vacate motion option, thereby reducing the power of any people's representatives to apply pressure or keep the house to the will of the people.
All the rest is technicality. Essentially, it's a reversal on Deep State controllism, even if it's just one step.
One step at a time.
To your second bullet point:
Although the measures failed, Boehner lasted 6 weeks after the motion to vacate and Ryan plain quit the House.
