@mkraju@frankthorpNBC Do these House Rs know it's never been done? No clear mechanics for doing it: http://gai.georgetown.edu/can-boehner-be-removed-from-office/ … -
@pkcapitol@mkraju I guess I'm saying "even worse" than the shutdown isn't saying much because he folded and came out unscathed -
@frankthorpNBC@pkcapitol true but he lost 25 votes, most of any incumbent speaker in a century even after expanding majority -
@mkraju@pkcapitol but wasn't that more of a result of other moves he made, such as the CROmnibus? -
@frankthorpNBC@mkraju Just sayin, next-to-impossible to remove sitting speaker midterm unless internal R rival takes him out in caucus.
