Start a vote of no-confidence right now. This guy is just another scheming pansy.

Didn’t the morons give up that right so Ryan would run?
I seem to recall hearing that one thing Ryan insisted on was changing the rule on voting out the speaker, but don’t know it if happened or not.
“The Wisconsin Republican wants to get rid of a procedural rule that allows Speakers to be removed with a simple majority vote at any time. As CQ/Roll Call’s Matt Fuller pointed out, the existence of that rule was why Boehner was so willing to resign early.
“There is actually no House Rule that would help remove a Speaker from his seat, according to the Brookings Foundation, but Jefferson’s Manual, America’s first book on procedure, allows for the move. The manual, written by former President Thomas Jefferson, is the go-to rulebook when there isn’t a House Rule on the issue.”
If so, anyone know what it takes now to get rid of the speaker? A 3/4 vote? 2/3? This isn’t surprising since the excuse they use now for doing absolutely nothing to oppose Obama or for that matter, to do anything constructive is they lack the votes, so naturally they make it almost impossible for us to toss them out.
