Lee Drutman et al. at Politico:
The House should immediately vote to change its rules — not to eliminate the motion to vacate, but to defang it, and even turn it into something constructive. What would that look like? It would be almost exactly like the current motion to vacate, with one big exception: The resolution to depose the speaker must also name a replacement speaker to take over. With this change, a disgruntled majority faction would not be able to ally with the minority party to replace “something” with “nothing,” as Democrats and eight Republicans did last October when they agreed on ousting Kevin McCarthy but not on his successor.
