House Republicans Reach Agreement to Change Motion to Vacate Rules

In a bid to stabilize its leadership, House Republican factions have struck a deal to raise the threshold required to oust a House Speaker. This move comes after the controversial use of a motion that led to the removal of Kevin McCarthy and aims to reduce internal power struggles. The new rules package will make it more challenging for members to initiate such motions in the future. Additionally, there are proposals to empower interim speakers in the event of future leadership ousters, though some dissenters within the Freedom Caucus have voiced concerns about potential punishments for conservative dissenters.
