British Prime Minister Theresa May is facing widespread pressure to give up power, but can her lawmakers force her from office? May has already promised she will resign and let someone else negotiate Britain’s future relationship with the European Union (EU). She has agreed to set out details for the end of her leadership. But she first wants another vote in parliament on her plan for separating from the EU. That vote would be held in early June. Some lawmakers have strongly criticized May for attempting to relaunch her EU exit deal, an effort known as Brexit. They are unhappy with measures aimed at winning over opponents and members of her own Conservative Party. Some Conservative lawmakers now say May should resign immediately. Can her party force her out before she wants to go? Conservative Members of parliament cannot use the party’s normal process for removing the prime minister until December 2019. In December 2018, lawmakers tried and failed to remove May, and the rules say they must wait 12 months to try again.
