Lauren Boebert Signals \u200cWillingness to Repeal\u200b House \u200cRules on Motions to Vacate<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has made a\u200c bold statement, \u2064expressing her willingness to repeal House rules on motions to vacate. However, \u2062there is\u2064 a catch. Boebert insists that House \u2062Judiciary Committee \u2062Chairman Jim \u2063Jordan\u200d (R-OH)\u2064 must be \u200dselected as the next \u200cHouse speaker, \u2063replacing Rep. Kevin\u2064 McCarthy \u200d(R-CA).<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this\u2062 year, McCarthy made concessions to \u2063gain support\u200c from \u200bfellow lawmakers during the \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-republicans-say-they-wont-support-mccarthy-for-speaker\/\" title=\"3 Republicans Say They Won't Support McCarthy for Speaker\">speaker election<\/a>. One of these concessions was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woke-flop-cambridge-university-college-takes-down-divisive-lgbt-flag\/\" title=\"Woke Flop: Cambridge University College Takes Down \u2018Divisive\u2019 LGBT Flag\">rule change allowing<\/a> a single member\u200b to raise a motion \u2064to vacate, which would trigger a vote \u2064on the\u200c matter. This change prompted some Republicans to call\u200c for a higher threshold\u2063 to prevent a \u2062repeat of McCarthy&#8217;s\u2064 removal.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m willing to ditch the \u2063Motion To Vacate with \u2064Jim Jordan \u2064as Speaker,&#8221; Boebert tweeted. \u200b&#8221;The House has a lot of work \u200dahead, let&#8217;s get this over with and take our country back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Several members have indicated that this\u2063 rule could be \u2064up for negotiation as they consider a new speaker. It is likely\u2062 that candidates will include \u200btheir stance on this \u200cissue as part of their platform. McCarthy&#8217;s closest allies\u2063 argue that\u2062 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lauren-boebert-says-she-would-ditch-motion-to-vacate-rules-if-jim-jordan-becomes-speaker\/\" title=\"Lauren Boebert would drop motion to vacate rules if Jim Jordan becomes speaker.\">current rule hampers effective governance<\/a> and needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t put a new speaker\u200c in place \u2064with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-float-repealing-motion-to-vacate-rule-that-led-to-mccarthy-ouster\/\" title=\"Republicans consider repealing rule that led to McCarthy's ouster.\">completely dysfunctional structure<\/a>. That&#8217;s \u2063wrong. It\u2063 would\u200b be unjust\u2062 to another speaker,&#8221; said Rep. Garret Graves\u2064 (R-LA). &#8220;Let&#8217;s keep in mind, \u2062there is a\u2062 conference\u200d rule that says that you \u2064cannot\u200d bring a motion to vacate without the support \u200bof the conference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim Jordan recently\u200d announced his candidacy for House speaker, \u200djoining House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) as \u200bthe only declared \u2064candidates. Rep. \u200dKevin Hern (R-OK) is also expected\u200d to enter \u2064the race.<\/p>\n<p>The House is currently at a standstill until a new leader is elected. No legislative business can \u200cbe completed until\u2062 a speaker is chosen. House Republicans have scheduled a candidate forum\u2063 to consider nominees, \u200cwith the \u2064first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emmer-plots-path-to-speakership-as-possible-successor-to-scalise\/\" title=\"Emmer eyes speakership as potential Scalise successor.\">speakership election vote expected<\/a> the following \u2063Wednesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re \u2064going to \u2064have a real contest\u2062 to see who the best person \u200bis,&#8221; said Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), one of the Republicans \u2062who voted to oust\u200c McCarthy. &#8220;We will absolutely choose a\u2062 speaker with 218 votes. Now, does it take a couple of \u200bdays? I don&#8217;t know. A couple of hours? I don&#8217;t know. But we&#8217;re gonna have a speaker that&#8217;s chosen \u200bby the\u200d body.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why \u200cdoes Rep. Boebert believe that the power to\u200c initiate a motion\u2064 to vacate should not be in the hands of a \u200dsingle member?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  E a motion\u200d to vacate\u2063 the chair, which\u2062 would effectively remove the House speaker from their position. This rule change, known as House Rule XVII, Clause\u2062 2, has been \u200ca topic of discussion among Republicans ever since \u200cits implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Boebert\u2063 is taking a stand \u2064and signaling her willingness to \u200crepeal this rule altogether. She believes that the power\u200d to initiate a motion to vacate should not be in the hands \u200dof a single\u2063 member, but \u200brather in the hands of someone like Rep. Jordan, who she believes\u2062 would be a \u2064better choice for House speaker.<\/p>\n<p>In making \u2063this statement, Boebert is\u2062 demonstrating her strong support for Rep. Jordan. She believes that he has the qualities and leadership skills necessary to serve as House speaker. She sees him \u200cas a powerful voice for the Republican Party and someone who can effectively challenge the policies and actions of the Democratic majority.<\/p>\n<p>While Boebert&#8217;s statement \u2063may have \u2063caught the \u200dattention of many, it is important\u2062 to note that she is just \u2063one member \u2064of Congress. Repealing House rules requires \u200bthe support and \u200capproval of a majority of\u200c House members, which is not an easy feat. It remains to be seen\u2062 whether Boebert&#8217;s \u2063proposal will gain enough traction for serious consideration.<\/p>\n<p>It is also\u2062 worth noting\u200c that motions to vacate the chair are relatively rare in the House of \u2064Representatives. They\u200d are typically\u200b seen as a last resort, a \u200dway for members to express their dissatisfaction with the \u200bHouse \u200dleadership. However, should \u2063this rule be\u2063 repealed, it could potentially open the floodgates for more\u2062 frequent use of\u200b this\u200d parliamentary procedure.<\/p>\n<p>House Rule XVII, Clause 2 was put in place to provide members with a mechanism \u2064to hold the House speaker\u200d accountable. It grants \u2063individual members a way to\u200c challenge\u200c the leadership\u2063 and\u200b voice \u200dtheir concerns. Repealing this rule would undoubtedly change the dynamics of \u2064the House \u2064and \u2062potentially limit the ability of \u200dmembers to \u200bhold the speaker accountable.<\/p>\n<p>As the discussion around House rules continues, \u200dit\u200d is \u200bimportant for lawmakers to\u2062 carefully\u2063 consider\u200b the implications\u200c of any proposed changes. While \u200csome may \u2062see the motion\u2064 to vacate as \u200da powerful \u2063tool to keep the speaker in check, others may argue that it could lead\u200b to instability and constant challenges to the House leadership.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Boebert&#8217;s statement serves as \u2062a signal of her strong support for \u2063Rep. Jordan and her willingness to challenge the status quo. It remains to be seen \u200dhow \u2062this proposal will be received by her colleagues and whether\u200b it will gain enough support for serious consideration. Regardless, it\u2062 sparks\u200c a conversation about the power dynamics within the House \u2063of Representatives and the role of\u200c individual members in holding the leadership \u200daccountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
