McCarthy needs to  call Gaetz bluff , if he calls that vote and it fails because the Dems back McCarthy then Gaetz is out, he will be lucky to retain his place in congress.

I don't think so.

 

The House will be won or lost in November 2024 based on conditions in the US at that time. Nobody will remember what happened in 2023.

From the article:

"[W]e conclude that the House must expressly authorize a committee to conduct an impeachment investigation and to use compulsory process in that investigation before the committee may compel the production of documents or testimony,” :biggrin:

The key is that McCarthy did not want a vote of the full House for this inquiry. But, apparently it takes a vote of the full House to grant subpoena power.

 

HOWEVER, some committees already have subpoena power, and one of them could conduct the inquiry, with requiring a full vote of the House.

Some Republican senators remember that the impeachment of then-President Clinton backfired politically in the 1998 midterm election, when the president’s party picked up five House seats, a notable break from the historical trend.

So was Billy Jeff's happy ending.
