The fast-track measure eventually passed Thursday after a second vote on the issue.
Earlier this week, House GOP leaders nixed three conservatives who voted against a procedural vote on the trade bill off the whip team.
Reps. Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Steve Pearce (N.M.) and Trent Franks (Ariz.) are no longer part of the whip team. It had been speculated the House GOP might take further action against other Republicans who voted against the trade deal.
Meadows also ran afoul of leadership when he voted against Boehner for House Speaker in January.
