Centrist lawmakers are hopeful \u2062that their \u2064more extreme\u200c colleagues will adhere to\u200c the \u2064agreement when\u2062 it is revisited in January 2025. This week, GOP\u2062 leaders crafted a deal to abandon changes \u200dintended to deter disruptions in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-do-not-plan-to-call-impeachment-witnesses-in-trump-trial\/\" title=\"Dems Do Not Plan To Call Impeachment Witnesses In Trump Trial\">legislative proceedings<\/a>, which \u2063had faced backlash from the\u2064 conservative Freedom Caucus. Instead of punishing dissenting voices, a compromise was \u200creached where\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bold-fiscal-policy-matters-yellen-says-biden-spending-agenda-is-meant-to-cut-inequality\/\" title=\"\u2018Bold Fiscal Policy Matters\u2019: Yellen Says Biden Spending Agenda Is Meant To Cut \u2018Inequality\u2019\">centrist lawmakers<\/a> would withdraw their proposed amendments in return \u200bfor a new threshold regarding motions to vacate the speaker&#8217;s position. The first part of\u200b this arrangement\u2064 was\u2062 realized when the Republicans\u200d completed \u200ctheir conference rules package without punitive \u2063proposals. However, the \u2063second part, \u200bwhich involves a vote to raise the motion-to-vacate\u2064 threshold, is pending until January 2025, leaving\u2063 some uncertainty about fulfillment. Representative Dusty Johnson expressed \u200dcaution regarding the two-part deal, referring to it\u2064 as a &#8220;trust-building \u200cexercise.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Republicans cautiously move forward with deal to change House rules: &lsquo;Trust-building exercise&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1882024\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Republicans are cautiously moving forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3229552\/house-gop-rule-changes-johnson-speaker-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">with a deal to change<\/a> how the lower chamber operates, with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">centrist lawmakers privately crossing<\/a> their fingers that their rabble-rouser colleagues hold up their end of the deal in January 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>GOP lawmakers crafted a deal this week to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3230530\/house-republicans-overcome-internal-drama-advance-conference-rules-package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">drop rule changes<\/a> to discourage members from disrupting legislative business after members of the conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3228096\/freedom-caucus-chairman-johnson-challenger-soviet-style-speaker-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Freedom Caucus<\/a> criticized the proposals as seeking to punish certain members who speak out against leadership. Instead, leaders of the centrist Main Street Caucus agreed to withdraw their proposed amendments in exchange for a new threshold to the motion to vacate, a procedure that allows members to vote on removing the House speaker.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of that deal was fulfilled Thursday evening when Republicans finalized their conference rules package, which no longer includes proposals to punish members who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/four-house-races-to-watch-in-tuesdays-virginia-primaries\/\" title=\"Four Key House Races in Virginia&#039;s Tuesday Primaries\">buck leadership<\/a>. However, the second part of the agreement will not come into play until January 2025 when the entire House must vote on raising the motion-to-vacate threshold &mdash; leaving some members on edge about whether those on the right flank will keep their word.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Admittedly, you never want to be the second part of a two-part deal in this town,&rdquo; Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD), chairman of the Main Street Caucus who led negotiations, told the <em>Washington Examiner. <\/em>&ldquo;But this is a trust-building exercise.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Most lawmakers believe the deal will go through as planned. Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) said members of the Freedom Caucus will &ldquo;more than likely&rdquo; agree to raise the threshold while Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said he believes it will &ldquo;probably carry out.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The spirit of the agreement was that,&rdquo; Roy said, adding that &ldquo;there were people in the room who agreed to that, there were people who did not. You got to talk to them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But if members do walk back their part of the deal, that could set a bad tone for the 119th Congress before it even begins in earnest, Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If we can&rsquo;t get people to hold up their end of the bargain in January, then that&rsquo;s actually a really important data point for the next 24 months,&rdquo; the South Dakota representative told the <em>Washington Examiner. <\/em>&ldquo;If we can&rsquo;t trust people with their word, it&rsquo;s going to be hard to deliver any conservative victories for America.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Any people who renege on their deal would only set back the cause of this Republican movement,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1882024\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1882024\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republicans cautiously advance a House rules change deal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2640,"featured_media":2369411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AP24317611818112.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3715,45076,3756],"class_list":["post-2369410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-deal","tag-house-rules","tag-republicans"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AP24317611818112.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2640"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2369410"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2369414,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369410\/revisions\/2369414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2369411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2369410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2369410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2369410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
