House rules stipulate that the matter must come to a vote within two legislative days.
.
While appearing on ABC's 'This Week,' Gaetz criticized the manner in which McCarthy has navigated spending and budget issues.
Kevin McCarthy, at one point or another, has lied to all of us, Rep.
Matt Gaetz, on ABC's 'This Week'.
McCarthy views Gaetz's actions as being
driven by a "personal" grudge.
Let's get over with it.
Let's start governing, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, via statement.
If he's upset because he tried
to push us into a shutdown and I
made sure government didn't shut
down, then let's have that talk, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, via statement.
McCarthy also took to X
to simply say, "Bring it on.".
Even though Gaetz previously said that he may not have enough votes to remove McCarthy, he will keep trying until he does.
Well, like I've said, it took Speaker McCarthy
15 votes to become the speaker.
So until I
get to 14 or 15, I don't think I'm being
any more dilatory than he was, Rep.
Matt Gaetz, to ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott.
While similar motions have been filed
throughout the House's history, no speaker has
ever been successfully removed in such a manner.

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.
But when the time has come for action,
they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.

George Lucas' company, Industrial Light & Magic, to create the avatar technology.
The "ABBA Voyage" show in
London featured an entire performance
with the Swedish band's digital avatars.

An avatar show is planned for the later part of 2027.
Gene Simmons said,
"I don't like the word acquisition.".
Collaboration is exactly what it’s
about. It would be remiss in our
inferred fiduciary duty — see what
I just did there? — to the thing
that we created to abandon it, Gene Simmons, to AP.
People might misunderstand and think,
‘OK, now Pophouse is doing that stuff
and we’re just in Beverly Hills twiddling
our thumbs.’ No, that’s not true. , Gene Simmons, to AP.
We’re in the trenches with them.
We talk all the time. We share ideas.
It’s a collaboration. Paul (Stanley) and
I especially, with the band, we’ll stay
committed to this. It’s our baby, Gene Simmons, to AP
