He kind of is powerless. He has a weak speakership (like Kevin McCarthy) because he has a very slim majority due to the results of the midterm elections, which is the very same issue that Kevin McCarthy experienced as Speaker.
Because of that slim majority, any person that follows him is going to have just as weak of a position as Speaker, because you have this small faction that threatens a motion to vacate if every thing is not done to their satisfaction, as it relates to working within reality (divided government). You have a Republican majority with 20+ seats, and you don't face this issue.
The nut bar wing of the party can't seem to grasp that their voice is a lot bigger than the actual votes within the entire Republican conference, and that the only reason why the majority of the conference has gone along with this charade is to preserve a Republican Speakership.

Why isn't Johnson publicly voicing the situation you claim he is in?
"I disagree with this, but this is what is best for the country today" instead of openly promoting and glorifying his stances?
You say he's doing this because he has no choice and is powerless, but his comments (and lack of comments) along with his actions say otherwise.
If this is counter to what he believes and wants, then he should say so. Otherwise, I judge a man by his actions.
