that any Congressperson can make a motion to vacate the Speaker's chair. I don't think that's right as I was under the impression that only Congresspersons in the ruling majority party can do that.
Is anyone sure which is it?

(18,748 posts)Under the new House rules passed Monday, only one member of Congress Democrat or Republican is needed to bring a "motion to vacate," which forces a vote on removing the speaker. That would need only a simple majority of the House to pass to oust McCarthy.
