House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) are leading the effort on circulating a petition to force a special conference meeting where proponents are looking for a debate and a vote be held on a resolution calling on Cheney to resign from her role at the leadership table.
The vote will be conducted via secret ballot.

“Rep. Cheney did not consult with the rest of our conference before supporting impeachment,” Rosendale tweeted last week.
