'Fading fast' is the way House Republicans and their staffers increasingly describe the threat of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to call for a vote by the full House to vacate the speaker's chair.
"Fading fast" is the way House Republicans and their staffers increasingly describe the threat of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , R-Ga., to call for a vote by the full House to vacate the speaker's chair.
Many Democrats are also considered open to changing the controversial rule. With the "one-vote" requirement for a vote on a motion to vacate on the House rule books since the 1700's — and actually acted on four times, the last leading to McCarthy's downfall last year — it was Nancy Pelosi who orchestrated a change in the rules when she became speaker in 2019.
Last year, however, McCarthy reluctantly agreed to restore the one-vote requirement at the insistence of Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. in order to secure his vote for speaker. It was Gaetz who later used the restored motion to bring down McCarthy a few months later.
