RUFUS - Republicans continue to call on House Speaker Gretchen LeWolf to resign amid tensions between members of the House and her office. It comes in the face of her statements about the border and not helping pass immigration and border security policy proposed by President Jay Laylin.
Speaker LeWolf has made it very apparent that she will fight any and all border security measures and immigration reform legislation proposed by Republican President Jay Laylin. Many of her own allies are calling it a harmful decision, and say they would like to see her more willingly to protect Jesstopia's borders from illegal immigrants who pose a great threat to Jesstopia's national security.
"It has come as no surprise that House Speaker Gretchen LeWolf is continuing to fight any and all border security measures that President Jay Laylin has attempted to get through to Congress," said Representative Paisley Harton. "She thinks because she is speaker, that she can just simply say, 'oh, we're not voting on that because I don't like it.' She can't do that. Her job as speaker is to ensure that all bills proposed by either chamber of Congress or by the President, must hit the floor of the House for a primary vote in a reasonable time frame. If she doesn't like a policy than she can have her opinion, but her sole opinion doesn't matter. The Representatives who are present have the right to vote on it and we are starting to see many of our Nationalist colleagues across the isle side with Republicans, and even agree that what she is doing to prevent secure borders is a violation of our sacred oath and her sacred oath of office to the speakership. I call on her to resign immediately."
Currently, 205 members of the House are set to vote for the border security plans of the president, but they say they need to get LeWolf out of the way. Without her, they can push forward with border security spending, and look at immigration reform bills proposed by the President and endorsed by several House Republicans and several Senate Republicans.
"I will not resign from the Speakership," said Speaker LeWolf. "If they want to try and stop me go ahead, but I will not allow unfair and biased and frankly racist policy against those trying to enter our country to escape persecution from authoritarian power," said LeWolf. "If that makes my job to prevent policy like this from being pushed then so be it. We are the land of the free and our country was and is continued to be built by immigrants of all walks of life."
Speaker LeWolf, according to undisclosed sources, say that Representatives are likely to bring up a motion to vacate the Speaker's chair late this morning, with several prominent leaders vowing to end her Speakership and put Deputy Speaker Matthew Carrington into the speaker's chair as Speaker Pro Tempore of the House. If this resolution passes, a whole majority of the House would be needed to oust LeWolf. Major Nationalist players have also joined Republicans in supporting the removal effort including Representative and former House Speaker Braden Harris, Representative Patty Wilcox.
