Not enough to get him elected, but just one so the MAGA wing goes berserk over the possibility that the Dems could elect McCarthy at any time.

Ball Security Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 There should be a rule where when there are not enough votes for a new speaker, the outgoing speaker gets to **** slap any member. Rinse and repeat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The margins for the Speaker vote in the GOP are about 200 to 20. This means Kevin is winning 90% of the vote, and the never Kevin's 10%. I read some of what they want and it is "reforms" that tip the balance of power towards hard line conservative policy... shocking. They will hate whomever ends up as the Speaker anyway due to shared power from such a close margin. Why do they want to elect someone they like?

China Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 You'll recall the J6 Committee referred several members of the house to the Ethics Committee: McCarthy Proposes Gutting Office of Congressional Ethics in Bid for Speaker House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spent the first two days of the new year trying to shore up GOP support for his bid to be Speaker by releasing a series of proposals aimed at winning over hard-right detractors who stand to torpedo his ascension. The part of his proposed changes to House rules that drew the most attention was allowing just five House members to call for a vote at any time on ousting the Speaker; that would render McCarthy beholden to the most extreme members of his caucus, should he get on their wrong side. But buried in the text was another provision that could be highly consequential for the new Congress being sworn in on Tuesday: language that would effectively gut the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), as the independent panel faces pressure to investigate lawmakers who participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Most significantly, McCarthy’s proposal would require OCE to hire its staff for the 118th Congress within 30 days of the resolution’s adoption, a requirement that sources familiar with the process tell TIME would make it exceedingly difficult for the office to have the resources it needs to conduct its investigations, given how long it takes to hire candidates for roles in the federal government. The proposal would also block OCE from hiring new employees over the next two years if someone leaves their position, sources say. “Republicans get to take control of the House, and on their first day in Congress, they are not trying to take a hammer to the OCE—they’re being a little smarter about it—but they’re taking a scalpel to it,” a Hill source familiar with the ethics process tells TIME. The resolution would also impose eight-year term limits for members of OCE’s eight-member board, which is composed of four Democrats and four Republicans. The move would result in three of the four Democrats being forced to vacate their seats effective immediately. While the new Democratic leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, would be able to appoint replacements, the changes could still significantly slow down the panel’s work and zap it of valuable institutional knowledge. “This could easily kill the only body that’s investigating ethical issues in Congress,” says Kedric Payne with the Campaign Legal Center. “There’s no investigations in the Senate. And the only investigations that happen in the House of any significance are done by the OCE.” Click on the link for the full article **** McCarthy and all the MAGA traitors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
