In order to win support as #HouseSpeaker, #McCarthy is promising rules that allow a single rep to call for a vote of no confidence.
So even if McCarthy wins, a single asshole like Matt Gaetz can subject the House to a neverending stream of no-confidence votes?
Seems untenable!
Yep.
Unfortunately, the voting brought us to the point where agreeing to these sorts of rules is the only way to begin a session with any chance of anything that even looks like real work.
One funny thing is that after all this, McCarthy is probably going to be extremely safe from actually being ousted since should he go this whole process would have to start all over again, and nobody wants to see that.
They might have to go through a bunch of annoying votes to shut up the loudmouths, though.
