Gaetz should have been kicked out long ago. The guy's a total sleazeball. Allegedly.

...expelling him from the House Republican Conference and eliminating all his committee assignments and all resources other than those an individual member is entitled to..
I think this is very possible. The few congressmen hold an outsize power, and the other 90% of the House of Representatives will have a long memory.

No committees, no money for your district.

Then I suppose the end conclusion is that the voters would elect a new congressman.

"Matt Gaetz wants to punish Speaker McCarthy for daring to using Democratic votes to pass a CR .....by asking Democrats to provide the votes to remove the Speaker."

McCarthy needs to ask himself the question, "What would Hitler do?"

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced a resolution Monday evening to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his seat, triggering an expected intraparty clash and setting up a showdown for the House to decide whether to depose McCarthy likely within 48 hours.
Keeping up with politics is easy with The 5-Minute Fix Newsletter, in your inbox weekdays.Gaetz and a handful of hard-right Republicans have repeatedly threatened to go after McCarthy’s speakership if he relied on Democratic votes to pass any spending legislation, which happened Saturday after McCarthy could not get a majority of Republicans to support various proposals to fund the government with only GOP votes.

Somewhere, in a parallel universe, this is undoubtedly happening right now. What I doubt about the many worlds theory is that there's one where he shuts up.

Now THAT'S funny.
Fortunately, I had just poured some (moderately-priced) Scotch and my keyboard is safe.

Looks like the Dems will not step in to "save" McCarthy. It will be up to the Republicans to decide whether they want McCarthy to continue as Speaker.

Have to wonder: What is Gaetz's end game here?
More concessions? A run at speakership? Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker?
It reminds me of the dog that finally catches the car: "NOW what am I going to do with it?"

Gaetz called for the motion to vacate because McCarthy had recruited Dem votes for the Continuing Resolution. In order to vacate, Gaetz voted along with over 200 Democrats. That may not be irony, but it’s something…

A dozen firebrands can run the Republican caucus but they can’t run the house. Where do they think this leads?

More skillfully described than my question.
I assume this won't be on your bookshelf, right @jon-nyc ?
