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 everything 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.

Who said they have to do anything? He could have funded the basic government functions and sat on his hands until November.

But noooo! They had to pass 1.2 trillion and expand FISA.

Johnson is responsible for whatever happens next. He knew full well.
