House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday downplayed an insurgent Republican's surprise bid to oust him, calling it "no big deal."
The speaker said the effort by Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina to strip him of his post "isn't even deserving of a vote," adding, "You've got a member here and a member there who are off the reservation."
Boehner responded at a news conference, a day after Meadows made his largely symbolic -- but nevertheless unprecedented -- challenge, filing a formal proposal that if approved would force a new election by the entire House to pick a speaker.
