“House Republicans on Wednesday released their proposed rules package for the 119th Congress, which includes several notable changes to the rules that governed the lower chamber for the last two years,” Axios reports.
“The most crucial alteration raises the threshold to introduce a motion to vacate — a measure to force a vote on ousting the House speaker.”
“Instead of any single House Republican being able to force such a vote, now the motion will have to have eight additional GOP co-sponsors.”
Politico: House rules would make it harder to oust speaker in next Congress.
