I think Meadows is only doing this because he's upset with Boehner because he "temporarily" removed him from the subcommittees Chairmanship.

Last month, Meadows was temporarily removed from his subcommittee chairmanship by a Boehner ally, Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. Chaffetz punished Meadows for voting against a procedural motion to advance President Obama’s trade bill. Days later, Chaffetz was forced to reverse his decision when a majority of Republicans on the committee voiced their support for Meadows to retain the subcommittee role.

That will be hard to prove. It is politics, what does he really expect. They use each other to get things done. None of them are immune.

I think Boehner is being blackmailed by Obama and his minions and I think we must get him out because of this. Just like with Judge Roberts, many of our generals and the list goes on and on and on. This has to stop and he has to go.. I hope it happens,

Sgt Kelli Mays Unfortunately, no! In an email to my congressman supporting Meadow's motion, I received a response:

Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns with the Leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue and welcome the opportunity to respond.

As you may know, Congressman Mark Meadows (R-North Carolina) introduced House Resolution (H. Res.) 385 on July 28, 2015, only 2 days prior to the August District work period. Congressman Meadows had the option to bring this before the full House as a "Privileged Resolution," a procedure which would bring this resolution up for consideration immediately. Instead, Mr. Meadows chose to not bring the resolution up in this manner, and H. Res. 385 was referred to the House Rules Committee, of which I am a member. I urged the Rules Committee to send H. Res. 385 to the full House prior to the August District work period. This did not happen and no action has yet been taken.

The Speaker of the House is an office created by the U.S. Constitution itself. As such, a Member of the House of Representatives who intends to run for this position must take the time to prepare and present his or her intentions should he or she become Speaker – a position just 2 seats away from the Presidency. As someone who ran a leadership election in the past, I know how difficult this task can be. I have not received a single notice from any of my colleagues that they are willing to step up for this responsibility. There is no clear consensus on a specific candidate in the Republican conference to replace the Speaker. Without a clear replacement, removing the Speaker of the House would mean that Congress would be unable to address any of the critical issues that must be addressed during the 114th Congress.

I don't know if he will get ousted, but I think he should be. He is what I hate about congress...all rhetoric and zero solutions.
