House Democratic leaders have not discussed how the party would approach a possible motion to vacate against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), according to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Democrats have not begun discussions on whether they’d back a motion to remove McCarthy or if they’d save their GOP counterpart from a possible ouster, and Jeffries emphasized it’s not currently a priority of party leaders.“The motion-to-vacate question is a hypothetical one that's not before us,” Jeffries told reporters on Tuesday. “We've had no discussion about it, and I don’t expect us to have any discussion about it.
“I rise today to serve notice, Mr. Speaker, that you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role,” Gaetz said. “The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate, total compliance or remove you pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair.”
A Biden impeachment inquiry also emerged as a top demand among some House Republicans who have threatened to withhold their support on any government spending legislation unless an investigation is opened.
