Gaetz says he'll file a 'motion to vacate the chair,' as House rules permit. No speaker has ever been removed from office through such a move.
Rep. Matt Gaetz said Sunday he will try to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a fellow Republican, from his leadership position this week after McCarthy relied on Democratic support to pass legislation that avoided a government shutdown.
No speaker has ever been removed from office through such a move. Procedural votes could be offered to halt the motion or it could trigger a House floor vote on whether McCarthy, R-Calif., should remain speaker. McCarthy has the support of a large majority of House Republicans, but because the GOP holds such a slim majority, he may need votes from some Democrats to keep his job.
The rules of the House allow for any single lawmaker - Democrat or Republican - to make a "motion to vacate the chair," essentially an attempt to oust the speaker from that leadership post through a privileged resolution.
