Rep. Matt Gaetz is planning to attempt to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the role this week after the House leader worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday.

    Well, they wouldn’t be in charge of the order of business, so there’s a chance that Jeffries, in his role as Speaker, could not recognize that motion.

    Also, as the other guy pointed out, McCarthy being oustable by a single person was only a part of the dumb deal he agreed to the first time round. But getting a majority of R’s to oust Jeffries won’t be hard.

      I doubt he would get a single Republican vote. Not recognizing a vote to oust him doesn’t seem workable for more than a very short period of time.
