In the House, some Tea Partiers are leading a push to oust Liz Cheney
Source: CNN
A group of House conservatives is pushing to challenge Liz Cheney's role as conference chairwoman, trying to force a special meeting to discuss her future as the No. 3 House Republican.
In a draft of the petition, which was obtained by CNN, conservatives are calling on Cheney for a special meeting "to discuss a resolution on your leadership." The petition is still in draft form.
While the petition is garnering support, signing onto the petition means members back holding the special meeting. Under House Republican conference rules, you need 20% of the conference or 43 members to sign onto a petition like this in order to hold a special meeting. Signing onto the petition to hold the meeting is not the same as saying members are willing to vote to oust Cheney right now. In any meeting, the members would have to vote separately on the resolution asking her to step down.
The effort to actually oust Cheney continues to be viewed as a long shot by GOP aides watching the process. While it is expected the conference may have to hold a special meeting on the topic, actually ousting Cheney is much harder. The conference would have to vote on a resolution asking her to step down and a majority would have to back it, something that aides don't expect is possible right now.
