  But wouldn’t/couldn’t a new rules package be voted on at the same time? New speaker new rules? Funny to think about. Would take the dems growing a pair..
context: Newsweek's reliance on Reddit posts lately has been hilarious to witness. Every article seems to reference a Reddit thread. >
  
  It’s time for you to take a fascinating foray into the purchase and running of Newsweek over the last 10 years. It’s super interesting. >
  
  What’s the TL:DR? >
  
  Too Long; Didn't Read

  Uhhh, I think the person was asking for a summary. >

  It's true that under rules changes made for the 118th Congress, it will now only take one member to motion for the Speaker to vacate their seat.
  As Dr. David Andersen, assistant professor of United States Politics at Durham University, told Newsweek, the new rules put McCarthy in an "awful position," leaving it a possibility that Democrats would only need five Republicans to pass a motion to vacate. >
  
  If they kick Santos out would that lower the threshold? What about if there are some absences? Could the Dems plot for when some Reps are off to their district and call a vote with a lower quorum? >
  
  Santos isn't getting kicked out. He'll either serve out his term or resign voluntarily, which is unlikely. >
  
  Yeah, Santos is being protected by Republicans and he's there for 2 years, and then most likely will be voted out or resign. >
  
  Seems like it would only take one person, based on Kev's rules package, regardless of party. >
  
  One person to call it. 5 republican members to support it to pass. >
  
  If 9 Republicans are out fundraising the Dems are left with a majority. >
  
  Only to be out-voted when the fundraisers roll back. Fun Speaker for a day idea though. I would watch that episode of Veep.
