BREAKING: Republicans Take Major Action Against “Authoritarian” Pelosi, Push to “Vacate” Her Chair
by Collin Rugg
On Friday, the House Freedom Caucus sent a bombshell letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), urging him to remove Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from her position as Speaker after her “authoritarian” behavior in recent weeks.
The letter came in response to drama that took place this week relating to the formation of the January 6 riot Select Committee.
In their letter, the caucus told McCarthy they “respectfully request that you pursue the authorization of the House Republican Conference, pursuant to Conference rules, to file and bring up a privileged motion by July 31, 2021, to vacate the chair and end Nancy Pelosi’s authoritarian reign as Speaker of the House.”
The letter stated, “Rule IX, Clause 3 of the Rules of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress requires that ‘A resolution causing a vacancy in the Office of Speaker shall not be privileged except if offered by direction of a party caucus or conference’.”
The group of lawmakers argued that “Pelosi’s tenure is destroying the House of Representatives and our ability to faithfully represent the people we are here to serve,” referring to measures taken by Pelosi like “allowing proxy voting and insulting security measures like metal detectors for Members coming to the floor to vote.”
