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.
