Republican Lawmaker Seeks To Oust Speaker Boehner

    A Republican lawmaker wants to take House Speaker John Boehner’s gavel away.

    FOX News Radio’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:

    Speaker Boehner just won a challenge to his leadership post earlier this year… and now, North Carolina Republican Congressman Mark Meadows has filed a “motion to vacate the chair”.

    If successful, the resolution would force a new election for House Speaker.

    Congressman Meadows argues that Boehner has endeavored to consolidate and centralize power.

    Such a challenge is almost without precedent in the House of Representatives. More than 100 years ago, a similar effort was attempted and failed.
