The knives are out for Liz Cheney.
The Wyoming congressman and No. 3 leader of the House GOP caucus faces a revolt from conservative lawmakers unhappy with her yes vote to oust President Trump.
Cheney was one of only 10 House Republicans to side with the Democrats on Wednesday.
Some Republicans are looking for an internal coup using a roadmap used during an attempt to oust then-speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
“We’ve thoroughly researched the rules and there has been a lot of discussion about how to deal with this,” Montana told Rep. Matt Rosendale to Newsmax. Cheney “is out of step with the conference in such a monumental way.”
Rosendale was the first House Republican to call for the removal of Cheney from the House Republican Conference after her renegade vote.
Under the current GOP caucus rules, any member can trigger a request to a panel to consider whether a member is suitable to remain in their post. However, as the conference chairman, Cheney would have the right to select panelists and keep it with her allies.
GOP insurgents say they would counter this move by invoking Rule 6 (d), which allows the entire Republican conference to weigh in an up or down vote if they get 50 signatures.
