<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert">Lauren Boebert</a> (R-CO) said she would support getting rid of the mechanism by which Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-ousted-from-speakership-after-democrats-side-with-matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> as House speaker — under one condition.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1709957401246302501">post</a> to X on Thursday, the congresswoman said she is &#8220;willing to ditch&#8221; the &#8220;motion to vacate&#8221; with Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) in that position.</p>
<p>&#8220;The House has a lot of work ahead, let’s get this over with and take our country back!&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>The &#8220;motion to vacate the chair&#8221; is a parliamentary tool that has <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/rep-gaetz-threatens-to-oust-speaker-mccarthy-after-deal-averting-government-shutdown#:~:text=The%20rules%20of%20the%20House,twice%20in%20the%20past%20century.">rarely been used</a> throughout the history of the United States.</p>
<p>After lawmakers raised the threshold to require <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mccarthy-motion-to-vacate-rule-speaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a majority</a> of either party to bring a motion to vacate to the House floor <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/motion-vacate-key-sticking-point-gop-speaker-battle/story?id=96241364">in 2019</a> — as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) began her second stint as speaker — the House rules package <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/motion-vacate-key-sticking-point-gop-speaker-battle/story?id=96241364" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> for this session of Congress restored the ability of a single member to trigger the process.</p>
<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL) filed a &#8220;motion to vacate the chair&#8221; this week after the GOP-controlled House passed a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-fires-back-at-the-8-republicans-who-upended-his-speakership">Eight Republicans</a> joined with Democrats in a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023519">216-210</a> vote that ousted McCarthy, who later <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBNgruEBPIo">said</a> he would not run again for the speaker&#8217;s gavel. Boebert voted against removing McCarthy.</p>
<p>House Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/steve-scalise">Steve Scalise</a> (R-LA) and Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, have announced candidacies for the speakership on the GOP side. Democrats are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrat-floats-potential-candidates-for-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">likely to rally</a> behind someone such as Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hakeem-jeffries">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY).</p>

<p>There has also been some chatter about former President Donald Trump taking on the role, as the Constitution <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/opinion/kevin-mccarthy-house-speaker-vote.html">does not require</a> a speaker to be a sitting member of the House, even while Trump is running a 2024 campaign for a second term in the White House.</p>
<p>A simple majority is needed to secure victory in a chamber-wide vote. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is serving as a temporary speaker in the interim.</p>
<p>At least one other House Republican — Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) — said he would not support any candidate until there is a commitment to reform the motion to vacate.</p>
<p>&#8220;The coup against Speaker McCarthy was DESPICABLE &amp; must never happen again. No one can govern effectively while being threatened by fringe hostage takers,&#8221; Gimenez <a href="https://twitter.com/RepCarlos/status/1709611565169725641" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in a post to X.</p>
<p>Gaetz <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1709642137480937490">responded with a post</a>, saying, &#8220;So the way moderates want to punish me is by making it harder to remove Speaker Jordan or Speaker Scalise? OH NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitch McConnell</a> (R-KY), in <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1709642657713000480">comments to reporters</a> on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-advises-next-house-speaker-to-get-rid-of-motion-to-vacate">described</a> the &#8220;motion to vacate&#8221; as being unproductive and advised the next speaker to do away with it.</p>
<p>&#8220;It makes the speaker&#8217;s job impossible, and the American people expect us to have a functioning government,&#8221; McConnell said.</p>
