Representative Liz Cheney was removed Wednesday from her leadership position among House Republicans. She was ousted as conference chair in a voice vote by House GOP members shortly after their closed-door meeting came to order, and the meeting was adjourned within 20 minutes.
After the vote, Cheney told reporters that she will do everything I can to make sure the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.

We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it s very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution.
