House to vote on rule making it harder to oust speaker
CBSN
Washington — House Republicans released a new rules package on Wednesday that will raise the threshold to force a vote on ousting the speaker.
The threshold that allowed a single member to trigger a no-confidence vote to remove the speaker will be increased to nine members of the majority party in the 119th Congress.
The House is expected to vote Friday to adopt the rules package after members elect a speaker and are sworn in.
