(Greg Nash)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilybrooksnews\/status\/1601021741824110592\">letter sent to colleagues on Thursday<\/a> came from House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-Pa.) along with GOP Reps. Chip Roy (Texas), Dan Bishop (N.C.), Andrew Clyde (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Reps.-elect Eli Crane (Ariz.) and Andy Ogles (Tenn.).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we form the 118th Congress, any GOP Speaker candidate must make clear he or she will advance rules, policies, and an organizational structure that will result in the values listed below,\u201d the letter said. \u201cThe House of Representatives serves as the people\u2019s voice in our system of government and it requires leadership to unleash its full power to check the Executive Branch, push the Senate to act, and responsibly exercise its strongest tool \u2014 the power of the purse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The requests in the Thursday letter include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restore any member\u2019s ability to make a \u201cMotion to Vacate the Chair\u201d and force a vote on removing the Speaker. Former Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a founding Freedom Caucus member, helped propel former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) toward retirement by making a motion to vacate the chair in 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Require at least 72 hours from release of final bill text before it gets a vote on the House floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bar House GOP leadership and leadership-affiliated PACs from getting involved in primaries. The McCarthy-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund was active in many House primaries boosting McCarthy-friendly candidates in the 2022 cycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase the number of Freedom Caucus members in committee chairmanships and on the House Rules Committee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Decline to raise debt ceiling without a plan to cap spending and balance the federal budget in 10 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not \u201creturn to the blind embrace of earmarks.\u201d The practice of directing federal spending to a specific recipient or project was brought back in this Congress as \u201ccommunity project funding\u201d after a decadelong ban. The House Republican Conference last month overwhelmingly voted against an internal proposal to ban the practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use \u201cmust-pass\u201d bills like the annual defense authorization bill and the farm bill as leverage to secure conservative priorities and \u201ccheck the Biden administration.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a \u201cChurch Committee\u201d-style panel to target \u201cweaponized government.\u201d While McCarthy and House Republicans have promised extensive investigations into the Biden administration and alleged politicization of federal agencies, some, like Roy, think the plans do not go far enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of the demands were previously articulated in a House Freedom Caucus release over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Clyde issued a separate statement about his joining the letter on Thursday, indicating that the letter was not solely aimed at McCarthy.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cLeader McCarthy is a friend, and I\u2019ve established a good working relationship with him over the past two years as the Freshman Representative to the Elected Leadership Committee. While I continue my consideration of who I will vote for, the items presented are simply what I expect and require for anyone seeking the responsibility of serving as Speaker \u2014 as accountability of the Speaker to the membership is paramount,\u201d Clyde said.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the House Freedom Caucus are split on whether to support McCarthy. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a Freedom Caucus co-founder who is set to chair the House Judiciary Committee, is fully supporting McCarthy. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has also emerged as one of McCarthy\u2019s most vocal supporters, warning that any alternative could be less friendly to hard-line conservatives.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/taylorgreenemarjorie_072122gn_w.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"Rep.
