Conservatives who make up the House Freedom Caucus last week forced a meeting of the House's entire Republican conference to discuss a motion "to vacate the chair," which is a push to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to step down.The Freedom Caucus has worked on this effort to remove Pelosi since July. What was the deciding factor in going ahead now? How does the motion to vacate work, especially given the House's Democrat majority? Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., chairman of the Freedom Caucus, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.We also cover these stories:The New York Times publishes an article detailing President’s Trump's income tax returns.  Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says that confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will begin Oct. 12. Chris Wallace, host of “Fox News Sunday,” will moderate tonight's first presidential debate tonight, but doesn't plan to fact-check either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.  Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
