The history of the motion to vacate

CNN lite ( bare bones page )

With the respect to the motion to vacate, one Cocaine Mitch is opposed to it. He wants the House to abandon it. It makes it to hard to govern, he says.

How does it make it hard to govern? If McCarthy had stuck to the agreement, he'd still be Speaker. There might have been a shutdown, but so what? There have been shutdowns before. There was no doom. The shutdown threat is just a scare tactic being used to force matters to flow in the direction guys like Cocaine Mitch and McCarthy likes.

After losing the vote to keep McCarthy, the losing side wants to eliminate the motion to vacate? This is the loser getting the spoils. The defeated party now gets to call the shots?

Trying to be realistic here. If only 7 GOP'ers refused to be stepped on, then it is going to be hard to get a better Speaker. Keeping the motion to vacate might avoid getting one who is actually worse, and giving him a license to do whatever he pleases.
