I hope they make him pass what they want first. No one should ever trust a Republican to keep their word.

I remember when Democrats ended a shutdown because they got a promise from Mitch McConnell that he would let a vote on DACA come to the floor.

Of course he didn't. Of course they knew he wouldn't.

The vote to vacate a speaker can happen pretty easily, so as long as the Freedom Caucus and company still want him out, he's not safe. He could drag it out maybe but that's about it.
