House Republicans are struggling with the same battles over government funding that led to the chaotic unseating of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), seemingly cutting any honeymoon short for new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). GOP leadership this week yanked two spending bills from the floor amid disputes on spending and other controversial policy items. With a government funding deadline less than a week away, the conference seems hopelessly divided on how to avert a shutdown.
They didn’t have the votes so they pulled the bills. Then Johnson called an early recess and jetted off to Paris. 6 days to shutdown.
About that time for a vote of no confidence
is that rule still in place that allows any single member to call for a motion to vacate the chair?

Probably for the best actually. With the beating Republicans took this week, moderates might be receptive to a compromise Democrat speaker. Otherwise, the extremist wing will utterly ruin them.
