Contrary to a number of other opinions on the matter, Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., told Newsmax on Wednesday that the motion to vacate is a "very important" rule in the House — one that any new speaker must agree to keep.

"The Freedom Caucus is looking forward to having all the candidates come before us, and we're going to ask them some tough questions," Cline said during an appearance on Newsmax's "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

"We're going to ask them about this very important motion to vacate rule, which we need to retain, because it's very important that the speakers, moving forward, are held accountable to the House and accountable to the people."
