MTG to lead a new motion to vacate effort

Here we go again… I really thought they would learn their lesson after the disaster with McCarthy.

Johnson didn't learn anything.

With a majority that thin it's suicidal to violate the Hastert Rule.
When a majority of Republicans voted against the funding package, he was politically dead.

I was reading the AP article and nothing is going to happen for two weeks, plus Gaetz and Burchett were throwing cold water in the idea. But Johnson can only loose two votes so we’ll see what happens.

2 out of 112 that voted against the Funding Deal, what are the chances ?

There is a chance that things calm down and the motion is withdrawn, but one way or the other Johnson is probably on his way out.

Either he loses the vote or enough resign/lose special elections that Jeffries gets a plurality.

Johnson learned nothing from McCarthy's ouster: It's suicide to pass anything with majorities that slim.

Ironically the rule has had opposite effect of what it was intended for . The reason the GOP put it in place during the Bush years was since their majority was so small they knew that it wouldn’t be difficult for bills they Bush/GOP leadership didn’t approve off to pass the house and they did not want that to happen. So what they did was put that rule into place thinking the only people who could pass the majority of majority rule was congressional leadership and for a while it did exactly that but in the long run it did the opposite.

I think it was the folly of the existance of "Must pass" bills.

Practice has shown that Bills that don't pass have no real negative impact, no matter how important they are.
