Latest news and live updates on the House vote on whether to oust Kevin McCarthy. The vote was prompted by a motion by Matt Gaetz after government funding disagreements.
The House sets its own rules at the beginning of every Congress. There’s no reason a speaker has to agree to the demands that they can be removed via motion by one single member of Congress.
It certainly wasn’t an option during the last Congress, while Pelosi was Speaker. It also shouldn’t be a demand Democrats should ever cave to when nominating their own candidate.
