Probably nothing will change. Maybe the next one does more of what he promises, but not holding my breathe

I agree. It's going to be business as usual in Congress.

The brief discussion of bringing back Gingrich was sort of puzzling. Yet it also brought in discussion of DJT stepping in.

Gingrich, for all of his flaws did have some skill in the House. But I think that was a different time with different dynamics. 

U.S. government at the federal level is going to change a great deal in the near future - either for better or worse. So whatever is done politically in the near term is less important that supporting the greater efforts in the general election of '24.

I don't like the "vacate" process vote because it resembles European style "no confidence" votes which are part-in-parcel of coalition governments. I hate the latter with a passion. Having a system which creates or allows coalition governments would be the worst decision possible (self-castration).

Ah, the Westminster system (or something similar)!

Reminds me, Canadian PM Stephen Harper once claimed in 2015 that forming a coalition government would be an illegitimate way to form government.

The UK's House of Commons is crazy. I hear the speaker having to yell "order" every time chaos ensues.
