A resolution from Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz seeking to vacate Kevin McCarthy’s House Speakership seat was discovered in a Capitol Hill bathroom on Wednesday.
Journalist Matt Laslo wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the short motion was found on a baby changing table in a restroom beneath the House floor. He posted images of the single-sheet of paper folded in half next to a cup of coffee.
The motion was ‘declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant,’ and included a draft date of September 15, 2023 at 11:22 a.m. – just three days after Speaker McCarthy announced the opening of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Rep. Gaetz is part of the pro-Trump MAGA branch of the Republican Party and was part of the group of Freedom Caucus members opposing McCarthy’s bid for Speaker when Republicans took the House in the 2022 midterms.
He is one of the most vocal critics of McCarthy.
