For all intents and purposes, Pelosi is still the Speaker of the House.
Is ANYONE going to run against Boehner?? If not, WHY NOT?? Surely, there is someone in Cincy who is more conservative than Boehner.
“Exit question: Will Republicans tolerate a situation where the Republican Speaker is only speaker by virtue of Democratic votes?”
Answer: yes, of course. They have been tolerating that already, when it comes to passing legislation. Congressional Republicans can’t discern any difference between themselves and Democrats.
Boehner would perform fellatio on a dead jackasses to keep his position.
I suppose he could bend over in public but to suggest such a thing might be construed as rude.

REGARDLESS, if this happens...it would confirm his RINO status
Funneling Gin while being held upside down? Boehner is down with that!
“Exit question: Will Republicans tolerate a situation where the Republican Speaker is only speaker by virtue of Democratic votes?”
We’re still SUFFERING through that in Texas, at the state level. In the last election we managed to clear out the debris in the governor’s office, the Lt. Gov. office (which includes the State Senate), but not the House speakership, where we still can’t get rid of an entrenched RINO. It is not fun.
In this case, perhaps we’ll get lucky and Boener will GET THE MESSAGE if he can’t hold on to office with such a huge majority of Republicans. Prior to Boener, when Republicans were in the majority, they had far fewer votes to spare in a Vacate vote, yet none of our prior leaders ever lost one (and I don’t think ever even had to deal with one).
She's had so many plastic surgeries, facelifts, tummy tucks he won't have to get on his knees anymore. He can kiss it with a mere bend at the waist.
There is apparently no limit to the number of times declaring the office of the speakership vacant can be done. So if by some chance the weeping cheetoh survives by teaming up with the witch, a vote can be called the next week and the week after that until such time as he is tossed out.
She’ll probably make him switch to the communist party.
I’d make a better speaker.
