A motion to vacate is the procedure used to remove the Speaker of the House. It’s a rarely used procedural tool that allows any Member of Congress to introduce a resolution, declaring the speakership to be vacant.
As we push our Democratic Members of Congress to safeguard our democracy and support reforms to the Supreme Court, it’s also important to acknowledge the Members of Congress who have been already cosponsored both the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal. and Transparency Act (SCERT) and the Judiciary Act of 2023.
Call your representative and tell them that you expect them to do their jobs and hold up their end of the deal to fund the government without harmful cuts or attacks on reproductive rights.
Every single issue we care about is at risk with this conservative MAGA majority in power at the Court. That’s why we must act now to unrig our courts before it’s too late.

You can customize them to fit the tone and message you’re going for, they’re effective with both large and small groups of people, and they can be as simple or involved as you want.
