"… we request a special organizational meeting for the purpose of consideration of an amendment to House Republican Conference Rules to temporarily raise the threshold needed to elect a Speaker."
What do you suppose this means “temporarily raise the threshhold needed to elect a speaker”?
even before hearing of this story, I think Jordan will not get enough votes and any other they may put forward, which is when Trump comes in and gets voted in. I believe this move is an attempt to thwart Trump becoming SOH
I just think the letter is too vague (purposely) to understand it’s intent…
well we can assume it's going to require a greater majority of the house which will presumably require Democrat's votes. it's clear they're seeking more than just a simple majority by the language "temporarily raise the threshold needed to elect a Speaker."
Is that the threshhold of votes? Or the threshhold of requirements to be eligible to hold the office?
