Congressman Files Resolution To Remove Boehner As Speaker Of The House

Congressman Mark Meadows is apparently a subscriber to the "Animal House School Of Politics"....."I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

And he's just the man for the job.

Meadows said he introduced the resolution to spark a "discussion" about how leaders are running the House and did not intend to force a vote on removing Boehner.

“It’s really more about trying to have a conversation on making this place work, where everybody’s voice matters, where there’s not a punitive culture,” Meadows said.

His resolution argues that Boehner has been "bypassing the majority" through centralized decisionmaking and that he has "caused the power of Congress to atrophy." The motion says Boehner punishes members who "vote according to their conscience," limits amendments on the House floor and doesn't allow enough time for lawmakers to review legislation before votes.

All reasonable points but this will lead to exactly nothing happening.

The resolution will be shuffled off to the Rules Committee where Boehner loyalists will do....nothing about it. Well, they might shake their heads and laugh a bit but basically nothing.

Meadows could get a majority of the House to sign a discharge petition to bring it to the floor but that's not happening. Sure a handful of Republicans are annoyed at Boehner but most aren't. And do you think the Democrats would support removing him? Of course not. He's the best deal they are going to get as Speaker from the GOP. Hell, Pelosi would fight harder for him than any Republican.

Conservatives aren't serious abut getting rid of Boehner. If they were they would have organized behind a candidate in January and made a real run at him. A handful of people voting for nonsense names like Rand Paul and Alan West isn't a serious effort.

In other futile GOP gesture news....

The Senate spent all weekend telling conservatives to go to hell over the highway bill, Iran, Planned Parenthood and the Ex-Im Bank. Well, they are now going to cave and accept the House's short term patch, which doesn't include saving the Ex-Im. It was pretty clear all along that the House was never going to take up the Senate's bill but McConnell put everyone through the dog and pony show anyway.

Next time Team GOP tells you to stop attacking them and focus on Democrats, remind them of this bit of needless blood shedding.

The only possible good to come from the Senate passing it's highway bill and then ditching it in favor of the House's version is that we *may* have seen the last of the Ex-Im from the Senate.

Personally I have my doubts. Sure McConnell claims he's personally against it but it did get 64 votes in the Senate. If members want to keep offering it, well that's the Senate. What I object to is McConnell giving it priority status over all other amendments. If supporters want to offer it again ok but it can't be the only amendment allowed while conservative amendments are locked out.

We'll see.

He prefers they all be stand alone.

Yeah, well, then they won't be passed, we all know this. He says, but it would publicize who voted yay or nay. Right, like voters pay attention to any of this.

48 Mark Meadows is my Congressman. And a good man he is too. His office has always responded to my the letters of encouragement that I have sent to him, including a blistering letter regarding Boehner.

He is an example of one reason that I am at odds with those who cry "Screw the GOP! I'll never vote for them again!"

He's not by any means the only Republican that is a conservative. There is a struggle going on in the Republican party, and to tar the entire party with a broad brush is to discourage those who working to bring it back to its base.

It is the same problem that I have with the LIB's, it is saying, "I give up". Nose, spite, face.

could offer a privileged resolution calling on the Speaker to vacate the chair.

Which would require an immediate floor vote within 48 hours, but

congressional experts believe such an effort could quickly be quashed by a Boehner ally who makes a motion to table or kill the resolution with a simple majority.

It's all about 'process' according to the 'rules'.

70 Failure is defined by your attitude.

Doing " something" actually takes courage. Especially when as a duly elected representative you are being marginalized.

Boehner is the one floating the nonsense he is getting Congress working again. Really? On what exactly that people want?

*CRICKETS*

Sure the move is destined to fail. In fact it's destined to fail for the same reasons Republicans in Congress fail. Because one cowardly simpleton who happens to be the Speaker is exercising despotic control over an allegedly deliberative, Democratic body. That body has now become a farce.

But you go ahead and keep lecturing us on what failure is. Because your posts pretty well define it.

Most of that is just a surcharge for having to get that close to hideous Hillary.
Not like her haircut is all that great.

90 Good on Mark Meadows for publicizing Boehner's failings. Shout it from the rooftops, Mark. Congress may ignore your resolution, but we hear it.

Sorry Sooth, but I won't stop voting for Meadows.
If I were a Texan, I wouldn't stop voting for Cruz or Gohmert.
If I were a South Carolinian, I would not stop voting for Gowdy.

There are many others.

97 Yes, it is indeed a futile and stupid gesture, but I assure you: a lot of tea-partiers and trumpkins will hail Mr. Meadows as a new folk hero.

That there are no results to be confronted and no thoughts given on the next steps, should this succeed, is just the icing on the cake for these people! They are political nihilists.

105 This is all kabuki. Trey Gowdy, Mark Meadows, all of them. They are the 'republican' branch of the ruling class. We need to do something about them or accept them. They are not going to all of a sudden change and do the right thing. We know it and they know it. We support them, vote for them, and ask them to go to Washington City and make things right. And they say they will do that. Every time. Difference is, they are telling us to screw ourselves. Apparently we (not you and me) as a nation, like being screwed.

I originally thought the article was a goof.

Who would pay $600.00 for a haircut- let alone that, that, human Loon nest?

But she did get a private elevator ride and security to keep away the peasants.

So there's that :-/

123 Its pretty fucking sad that the most action the GOP has done is the feckless 'leadership' punishing GOP congressmen for not falling in lock step with all the bad decisions that have been made.

Imagine... being punished.. by your OWN side for doing your job.

What sad state. I can't even summon the thoughts to put on my screen to fully express my rage and disappointment

Just what we need, people that actually want change ridiculing the only people that do ANYTHING to create change whether futile or not. This whole article is the definition of stupid GOPe. Yea, let's curl up in the ball and cry. That will get the GOPe to finally listen.

125 I'm with J.J. Sefton -- In fact, we need more meadows doing this. I am really tired of the crap going on in the GOP and it's about time someone steps up and calls them on it. As it is, at this rate, I won't be voting because of all the Boners in the party. Really no point at all.

126 I hope he gets somewhere! I'm sick of Boehner McConnell all the BS they force on us! I see no difference now that GOP has senate McConnell is an ass!GOP leadership sucks! They cooperate with zero instead of Fighting!!I'm still trying to find where McConnell said on July 3 that he "experienced an out of body experience" delivering that Secret Trade Bill to zero!! Howie Carr Tom Marr both said it on their shows July 3?

128 LOL more Sturm und Drang from a narcissistic politician Meadows, who only cares about protecting his own seat in a gerrymandered district where he never needs to compete against Democrats for swing-votes, and winning the Republican primary is the only thing that matters.

That's fine for political hack Meadow's career, but not so good for stopping Democrats from controlling both houses of Congress and White House.

Yeah, I know, Barack Obama never wanted any policy that cuckservatives Boehner McConnell didn't enact. </snark for the stupid>

Bottom line, McConnell tells the corporate-welfare donors "Well I tried (crossed fingers)", knowing it never gets enacted into law. Sounds like good strategy, better than all those fat-cat donations going to Democrats instead of cancelling out between donations to both parties.
