GOP Rep: We Have Enough Votes to Unseat Boehner

Outgoing Louisiana Republican Rep. Jeff Landry told Breitbart News there are at least 17 GOP members who plan to unseat House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday, and Boehner may resign on Wednesday evening during or after a GOP caucus meeting.

Landry, who lost his bid for re-election in a member-member race to leadership-sponsored Rep. Charles Boustany, told Breitbart News that “if they don’t got 20, they’re so close to 20 – they’re close.”

Landry said another member organizing the effort told him they’ve got at least 17 – which is the bare minimum needed to unseat Boehner. “They’re somewhere between 17 and 20,” Landry said in a phone interview. “I think they’re trying to get to 25.”

Landry added that that another member told him “there’s a pretty good chance Boehner will resign at the conference tonight.”

Ron Meyer from American Majority Action made a similar claim. “I have confirmed with a group of Congressmen that Speaker Boehner will not be elected Speaker tomorrow,” Meyer said in an email to reporters. “He will either resign or be forced out tomorrow.”

Folks, light up the phones tonight. Email, call or find a GOP rep on twitter from your state:

This is an immediate emergency priority action.

Boehner is already planning to table a vote on the Hurricane Sandy Pork bill, 60 BILLION DOLLARS.

Spread this effort everywhere you can and help remove this idiot before we're stuck with him.

I will try and keep this bumped all night so people can see it and contact some GOP rep's to try and strengthen the rebels and force his removal.

Boehner will not go quietly.

He is busy right now buying votes and clinging on to power otherwise he would not have guaranteed the North eastern Republicans a vote on 60 BILLION DOLLARS of Sandy pork.

I am not against hurricane relief if its offset but the Senate passed bill is full of unfunded pork and he is guaranteeing them a vote on that.

I will in D.C. tomorrow in a building directly across the street from the Capitol. I hope this holds off until tomorrow so I can watch the fireworks explode in person.
 
Jeff Landry should consider primarying one of the RINO reps in Louisiana in 2014! Just saying.
 
There cannot be anyone worse than Boehner the caver

The Republican Study committee has 160 members and therefore holds enough votes to elect someone who will stand up for conservatives

I remember people saying there could never be anyone worse than bush jr.
 
Taking Boehner out would be a big deal regardless of who replaces him

he must be held accountable, he has no redeeming qualities
 
So does this mean the 17 will vote for Pelosi or what?

How exactly does Boehner lose his seat?
 
So what? Bonner, or the next fool... They will always be 'one part'y when it comes to their positions in high thief-dom. The "American Taxpayer Relief" bill should be a big fat fact that its all a show.

I haven't read the rules but they either abstain or vote for someone else. The House keeps voting until someone has 218 votes. It won't be Pelosi, thats for sure and if it goes to a second ballot I presume Boehner will resign (this hasn't happened since the 20's)
 
The GOP needs a scapegoat moment to cover thier shamful "principled" stand on taxes. Grease balls.

i thought speaker was elected by a simple majority of those present to vote.
that is why they could get by with 17 if the total number of votes are lower.
