This is a very logical argument and I agree with you. Republicans will undoubtably try anyway. Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks, etc.
It’s not like they’re limited to one motion to vacate a day. We could have 50 motions to vacate every day. >

ill have the popcorn ready >

It'll be used a lot. In most cases the Chair will recognize a "Nay" voice vote and a call for actual voting will be much rarer.
Once the Rules package is passed, and I think that will be bloody, and the committee assignments are finished, also bloody, you'll see a fairly unified Republican House gleefully getting on with their investigations. This will be their only work until September because the legislation they consider will only be ineffective show not serious enough to do battle with each other. >

Honestly, i prefer this to the cacophony of nonsense that the GOP had in store for us the next 2 years >

AOC and the Squad could have done something like this a while back, but chose to fall in line. >

Fall in line behind the most successful speaker in history...

At least she knew when to step down, unlike McConnell or McCarthy. >

Because that was one of the concessions she made to House Dems when got elected last time. >

And it worked well for both the other democrats and her. >

It's not that surprising a change from what I can tell. The current rule was only made in 2019. >

Different world. The House has been going crazy for 20 years but it's on an exponential growth curve. >

No, totally true. Just saying that the rule itself isn't that crazygonuts >

I think the small anti-McCarthy faction will threaten to use this many times, both publicly and quietly, to no avail. Do they actually go through with it and force a vote? At least once, yes. I cannot imagine a world where Gaetz and the others get this concession and choose not to use it. 
The real question is - what will the votes look like when it does inevitably happen? Democrats will all vote to remove. Maybe a few vote present if they are vulnerable in a purple district and facing a serious GOP challenge in 2024. In all likelihood though the Dems will unite in voting for removal.
After that, it’s a matter of picking off 5 more Republicans to votes. This would be very difficult, even though the recent speaker debacle makes it seem otherwise. Getting a speaker removed from the position would ostracize even someone as shitty as Gaetz, if only because it would further signal a gargantuan rift within the party. Everyone that blocked McCarthy knows this and won’t take the risk, especially if McCarthy continues to be weak and gives them what they want in the name of peace. 
The Democrats are stronger than the GOP bargained for and the looming chaos of the 2024 presidential primary are giving McCarthy quite a lot of pressure to keep his house in order. He knows the motion to vacate will occur eventually - it is in his interest to keep the psychos at bay no matter the cost. >

I can't say I'm as certain. Everything feels so unprecedented and crazy, a part of me could absolutely see them doing that. >


Will Dems use this tactic to stall Republican legislation?

No, because the rule will be written so that only a member of the majority party can do it. >

I don't think they can actually write rules that limit the minority otherwise why stop there, why not write a rule that states that the minority cannot enter the building, or that the minority cannot vote unless they stand on one leg while singing the peanut butter jelly song?
