He is going to continue delivering wins for the country, changing the direction of Washington, and being more representative of the priorities of Americans across the country,\u201d Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA) told CBS\u2019s Face the Nation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite concerns that the motion to vacate could be used against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA) assures the public that McCarthy&#8217;s position is safe. Graves, who helped negotiate the debt limit deal on behalf of Republicans, believes that McCarthy will continue to deliver wins for the country and represent the priorities of Americans.<\/p>\n<h3>Good Cop, Bad Cop: How GOP Negotiators Handled Debt Ceiling Talks<\/h3>\n<p>While some detractors, such as Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), have threatened to use the motion to vacate to oust McCarthy from the speakership, others, such as Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), have publicly suggested that McCarthy lost credibility with members of his conference over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-defense-bill-moves-to-lift-debt-ceiling-after-bipartisan-agreement\/\" title=\"House Passes Defense Bill, Moves To Lift Debt Ceiling After Bipartisan Agreement\">debt ceiling agreement<\/a>. However, Graves believes that McCarthy&#8217;s position is safe and that they will continue to build upon the historic wins that he&#8217;s been able to achieve this year.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy agreed to lower the threshold for a motion to vacate to one vote back in January when he faced a historically atypical 15 votes to win the gavel. The motion to vacate has been used by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/garret-graves-says-mccarthys-speakership-is-absolutely-safe\/\" title=\"Graves assures McCarthy's speakership is secure.\">hard-line conservative flank<\/a> of the House GOP conference as leverage against prior speakers, such as former Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) who stepped down from the speakership after then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) brought forward a motion to vacate in 2015.<\/p>\n<h3>The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023<\/h3>\n<p>President Joe Biden signed the debt limit deal into law on Saturday, which suspended the debt ceiling until January 2025, soothing fears of a potential default. The bill, known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, will effectively keep nondefense and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/debt-ceiling-biden-admits-progressive-democrats-might-not-get-on-board-with-deal\/\" title=\"Biden acknowledges progressive Dems may not support debt ceiling deal.\">nonveteran discretionary spending growth<\/a> down until 2024 before increasing by roughly 1% in 2025. In its present form, the bill could reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years, according to an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>McCarthy&#8217;s position is safe, according to Rep.
