‘It’s been abused’ Rep. McCaul on motion to vacate threat
Are you in favor of changing the rule for motion to vacate? Yeah, I would consider it, I think, because this is a great question. It’s been abused. I mean, you have to think about this emotion of a Kate had only been used one time in history prior to McCarthy, and that was Joe Cannon, who actually filed a motion to vacate on himself to calm down his opponents, and he won. I think it adds to the dysfunctional aspect of Congress and it. Has it’s been a big distraction? If it was not being abused, maybe I wouldn’t be in favor of changing it. But I do think it’s being abused and used improperly and I think we need to look at changing it.
