WASHINGTON, D.C. - Following the unprecedented removal of Kevin McCarthy from the Office of the Speaker, Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez (FL-28) is advocating for reforms to the House Rules regarding the Motion to Vacate. Rep. Gimenez recently expressed his stance on CNN, emphasizing the need for change.
"The person who wants my vote for Speaker must commit to reforming the Motion to Vacate," said Rep. Carlos Gimenez. "The threshold must be raised to 50% of the Republican Conference. The coup against Speaker Kevin McCarthy was despicable and must never happen again. A Speaker cannot govern under constant threat by fringe hostage takers."
Congressman Carlos Giménez, representing the picturesque Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, is the sole Cuban-born Member of the 118th Congress. Having fled his homeland following the Communist takeover, Rep. Gimenez brings unique perspectives to his roles on the House Armed Services Committee, the Homeland Security Committee, and the Select Committee on China.
