Thanks to Matt Gaetz, we got rid of Quisling Kevin McCarthy.

Gaetz would be a great VP for DJT.

Not a great VP nominee, because the criminal media would hate him even worse than Trump.

Gaetz is too tough, and too honest, to be acceptable as Trump’s VP.

Every single conservative needs to watch this. Eli Crane won the kick ass comment in my opinion. They’re all patriots.

It is a resolution. Meaningless and will be forgotten after their first martini.

It’s quite possible he’s correct. What he forgets is that 14 Section 3 has this that is just as if not more problematic for the former President. given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

Of course Trump didn’t.

Now do a resolution that ignoring our border laws = clear and present danger to the Republic.

Gaetz is missing a change to play the Democrat’s own game. He should combine this resolution with another that says: “and Biden didn’t commit treason by causing an invasion of illegal immigrants. That would make the results bi-partisan.

> It is a resolution. Meaningless ...

So does that mean the Federal Budget for the last 5+ years is meaningless too ?

I remember when most people tried to throw a cold blanket on Gaetz motion to vacate McCarthy and we saw how that turned out.

Methinks this resolution could help the J6 political hostages.

He is correct.

Here is one reason why. Proof, that President Trump did not instigate the J6 so called Insurrection (aka Psy Opps)

Bills & Resolutions
Forms of Congressional Action
The work of Congress is initiated by the introduction of a proposal in one of four principal forms: the bill, the joint resolution, the concurrent resolution, and the simple resolution.

Bills
A bill is the form used for most legislation, whether permanent or temporary, general or special, public or private. A bill originating in the House of Representatives is designated by the letters “H.R.”, signifying “House of Representatives”, followed by a number that it retains throughout all its parliamentary stages. Bills are presented to the President for action when approved in identical form by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Joint Resolutions
Joint resolutions may originate either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate. There is little practical difference between a bill and a joint resolution. Both are subject to the same procedure, except for a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution. On approval of such a resolution by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it is sent directly to the Administrator of General Services for submission to the individual states for ratification. It is not presented to the President for approval. A joint resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated “H.J.Res.” followed by its individual number. Joint resolutions become law in the same manner as bills.

Concurrent Resolutions
Matters affecting the operations of both the House of Representatives and Senate are usually initiated by means of concurrent resolutions. A concurrent resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated “H.Con.Res.” followed by its individual number. On approval by both the House of Representatives and Senate, they are signed by the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate. They are not presented to the President for action.

Simple Resolutions
A matter concerning the operation of either the House of Representatives or Senate alone is initiated by a simple resolution. A resolution affecting the House of Representatives is designated “H.Res.” followed by its number. They are not presented to the President for action.

“I remember when most people tried to throw a cold blanket on Gaetz motion to vacate McCarthy and we saw how that turned out.”

That was a parliamentary proceeding, not a resolution.

Gaetz used to be a go along to get along guy until the left went after him with lies and lawfare. It woke him up. There seems to be a lot of awakening going around lately. Good.

Trump did not do any such thing.
All this time they have been saying that, and trying to keep him off the ballot. It was a made up charge. It is a lie.

It will never get to the floor.
If it does, it will never pass.
It will set a record for "present" votes.
