RUFUS - The House Of The People voted against ousting House speaker Gretchen LeWolf, after attempts to convince House members to vote to vacate the chair failed. Many members supporting the motion to vacate the chair were shocked and appalled by the outcome of the vote. Representative Richard Sanchez said that he would likely seek to raise another motion to vacate the chair at a later date.

Representatives voted to keep her in the Speaker's chair with a vote of 315 to 110, much to the surprise of the entire part of the Republican caucus, and several dozen members of the Nationalist caucus. Former House Speaker Braden Harris said that he is "disappointed with the outcome of the vote."

"It is completely disappointing that the very person who is vowing to fight immigration and border policy, is allowed to keep her job," said Rep. Braden Harris. "I am very disappointed with the outcome of the vote and I know several members of the caucus feel the same. I would support a second motion to vacate vote, but I will not bring forward the motion."

"I am grateful to have defeated the vote and have the support of the majority of the House," said Speaker Gretchen LeWolf. "I will work to ensure that the House has confidence in me and will work to ensure that House proceedings continue. We have work to do before the end of the current Congress on December 15, 2024. As I have said before, I will hold the 2024 Inflation Reduction Act vote until the start of the 84th Congress."

The House Of The People elections could change her future in the House Of The People. If Republicans take control of the majority of the House, she could be forcibly removed from office, but if Nationalist retained control, a major chance for LeWolf to stay in power.

But several Republicans and Nationalists have expressed support for a second motion to vacate the chair, if it were to be proposed on the House during the regular floor proceedings. It is likely that Richard Sanchez and Christopher Rodgers will push to file another motion to vacate sometime in the next session of Congress.
