USA Today: WASHINGTON — House Republicans are using the coming departure of Speaker John Boehner to agitate for new structures and procedures that may limit the power of whoever takes the gavel from him.
Boehner announced at the end of September that he plans to step down Oct. 30, setting up a scramble for a handful of leadership positions within the House Republican Conference. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, the No. 2 ranking Republican, is considered the favorite to become the next speaker, though he is being challenged by Rep. Daniel Webster of Florida and Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah.
