The measure used to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., last week is now one of the main points of contention in the battle to replace him.
这项措施曾用于罢免前众议院议长、加州共和党人凯文·麦卡锡,上周主要争论点之一是谁能接替他。

McCarthy became the first speaker in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives to be removed from the role after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a motion to remove him last week.
麦卡锡成为继佛罗里达州共和党众议员马特·盖茨辞职之后,美国众议院历史上第一位被免职的议长,上周提出了罢免他的动议。

The 200-year-old parliamentary rule, known as a motion to vacate, triggers a chamber-wide vote on whether to oust the legislative body’s leader. 
这项有200年历史的议会规则被称为“罢免动议”,引发了众议院对是否罢免立法机构领导人的投票。

According to the terms of a deal McCarthy made in January to win the gavel, the threshold for triggering a motion to vacate was brought down to just one House member, far below the party-majority needed under Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
根据麦卡锡在1月份为赢得木槌而达成的协议条款,触发罢免动议的门槛被降至只有一名众议院议员,远低于加州民主党议长埃梅里塔·南希·佩洛西领导下所需的党内多数席位。

"For me, one of the things they have to do is, they have to agree to put a change in the rules that won't allow what happened [on Tuesday] to happen again," Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital earlier this week when asked what he needs in order to support a new candidate for speaker.
佛罗里达州共和党众议员卡洛斯·吉梅内兹说:“对我来说,他们必须做的一件事是,他们必须同意改变规则,不允许(周二)发生的事情再次发生。”本周早些时候,当被问及支持新的议长候选人需要什么时,他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

"If somebody’s not going to agree to do that, then they're not going to have my vote."
“如果有人不同意这样做,那么他们就不会得到我的投票。”

The pragmatic Main Street Caucus also came out with a statement calling the motion to vacate a "chokehold" on Congress.
务实的主街核心小组也发表了一份声明,称这项动议是对国会的“窒息”。

"The ability for one person to vacate the Speaker of the House will keep a chokehold on this body through 2024," the group said in a statement. "Personal politics should never again be used to trump the will of 96 percent of House conservatives. Any candidate for speaker must explain to us how what happened Tuesday never happens again."
该组织在一份声明中表示:“一个人离开众议院议长的能力将使这个机构在2024年之前一直处于窒息状态。”“个人政治永远不应该再被用来压倒96%的众议院保守派的意愿。任何议长候选人都必须向我们解释周二发生的事情是如何再也不会发生的。”

The topic was also a central point of conversation in Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan’s meeting with the Main Street Caucus last week, sources told Fox News Digital. Jordan, R-Ohio, and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., are currently vying to be the next House Speaker. 
消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,这个话题也是司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹上周与主街核心小组会议的中心话题。俄亥俄州共和党人Jordan和路易斯安那州共和党多数党领袖Steve Scalise,目前正在角逐下一任众议院议长。

Fox News Digital was told that Jordan suggested he would be amenable to raising the threshold if a majority of the Republican conference was open to it. 
福克斯新闻数字频道获悉,乔丹表示,如果共和党会议的大多数成员对此持开放态度,他愿意提高门槛。

Even national GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called for reforming the motion to vacate in a Fox News interview, stating, "We cannot have another chaotic turnover of speaker before next year’s election and think it’s not gonna impact our results."
就连共和党全国主席罗娜·麦克丹尼尔也在福克斯新闻的采访中呼吁改革这项动议,以退出,并表示,“我们不能在明年大选前再次出现混乱的议长更替,并认为这不会影响我们的选举结果。”

But not everyone is on board. Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, a member of the hardline-right House Freedom Caucus, defended it in a lengthy X post.
但并不是所有人都在船上。俄亥俄州共和党众议员沃伦·戴维森是强硬派右翼众议院自由核心小组的成员,他在一篇冗长的X帖子中为其辩护。

"With a narrow majority, clearly enough people had grievances to continue taking down rules and party line votes in perpetuity. Had the motion to table prevailed, Congress would have had more turmoil for longer. This reveals the pragmatic reality of the MTV," Davidson argued. "Congress ought not fear the MTV. The MTV allows the debate and resolution. "
戴维森认为:“在微弱多数的情况下,显然有足够多的人心怀不满,继续永久推翻规则和党派路线投票。如果提交的动议获胜,国会将在更长时间内陷入更多动荡。这揭示了MTV的务实现实。”“国会不应该害怕MTV。MTV允许辩论和决议。”

The influential right-wing group Club For Growth also indicated it would oppose any House Speaker candidate seeking to change the rules.
颇具影响力的右翼团体“增长俱乐部”也表示,它将反对任何试图改变规则的众议院议长候选人。
