or will they allow enough of a split to give the Democrats the opportunity to slide a minority Speaker in?
A Dem candidate can't get to 217 without republicans going traitorous. That's why McCarthy had 16 shots at it last time.

But is he part of the Legislative branch? A simple yes or no will suffice.
No.
I thought we were talking about passing legislation, though.

I'm going back to Gaetz's responses to each of these swamp fricks who go to bat for McCarthy on the floor, and he's absolutely destroying them. It's remarkable.

McCarthy has already lost 6 GOP votes. He will lose.

Just think there are Representatives in our government who can’t even bother, or are too chicken, to vote on something like this.

Could the President do the things asked of him by Bayou Blitz without Congress doing their part first?
Could Obama Care be repealed by an EO for example?

Is it a simple majority required to remove him?

Are we pretending that the President doesn't participate in the legislative process to get its preferred legislation passed?
Are you saying that it was Trump's fault that the repeal of Obamacare Failed? The great leadership of the GOP NEVER had a plan to replace and looked totally inept when the time came. That is not Trump's fault. That falls squarely at the feet of those in Congress.

I was. The President and his admin will be involved in any major piece of legislation (and most minor ones).
The inability of a President to pass his/her legislation is a failure of that President.
