A motion to vacate, under new House rules agreed to by McCarthy during his speakership battle back in January, would allow just one member of Congress to bring up a vote on removing the speaker. A simple majority of the House would be needed to pass such a motion.
Adding another layer to GOP discontentment is a new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that found the deal would actually increase the number of people eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and increase the cost by $2.1 billion.

Work requirements for SNAP and other federal assistance programs were a major sticking point for Republicans in the negotiations between McCarthy and President Joe Biden.
McCarthy said late Tuesday that the CBO was \"totally wrong\" and claimed the agency \"double-counted.\"
Amid the conservative uproar over the bill as cutting far too little, McCarthy announced Wednesday the creation of a bipartisan commission to study the federal budget to look for potential waste to be cut.
On the other side of the aisle, House Democrats met behind closed doors with White House negotiators for several hours on Wednesday.
\"In that meeting, I made clear that I'm going to support the legislation that is on the floor today and that I support it without hesitation, reservation or trepidation,\" House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Wednesday. \"Not because it's perfect, but in divided government we of course cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.\"
Several progressive Democrats have pushed back against provisions of the bill but two key groups, the 100-member New Democrat Coalition and the 46-member bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, have endorsed the deal ahead of Wednesday night's vote.
\"We continue to maintain that House Republicans need keep their commitment to produce 150 for the resolution, that they themselves negotiated. And when that happens, Democrats are going to make sure that there is no default,\" Jeffries said.

If it passes the House, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said his chamber would immediately take it up.
\"Once it is the Senate's turn to act, I cannot stress enough that we have no margin -- no margin -- for error,\" Schumer said in floor remarks Wednesday. \"Either we proceed quickly and send this bipartisan agreement to the president's desk or the federal government will default for the first time ever.\"
A potential roadblock will be if a filibuster materializes, which could delay the process for up to a week.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's given his approval on the bill, calling it a \"down payment on more progress that's yet to come.\"
\"When this agreement reaches the Senate, I'll be proud to support it without delay,\" McConnell said Wednesday.
He told reporters that, \"what I hope happens is that those who have amendments, if given votes, will yield back time so that we can finish this Thursday or Friday and soothe the country and soothe the markets.\"
