John Bercow to resign as Speaker of the House of Commons.
John Bercow has made an inappropriate intervention into UK foreign policy by prohibiting The President Donald Trump from speaking to Parliament in his upcoming visit.
This petition calls for the public to issue a call of no confidence in Bercow and for him to be relieved of his duties immediately.
Such a move violates Bercow's convention on neutrality which he must upload as speaker. Likewise, it poses massive complications for British Foreign Policy.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The resignation of the Speaker is a personal decision for the Speaker, and is therefore not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
