John Boehner Removes Florida Congressmen from Committee for Ouster Attempt

Five Republican congressmen from Florida were at the center of the conservative attempt to oust House Speaker John Bohener, R-Ohio, from leadership and two of them are now paying the price.

Boehner moved swiftly against U.S. Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, R-Fla., tossing the two Florida Republicans off of the Rules Committee. Webster had emerged as the chief threat to Boehner, winning 12 votes against the speaker.
