If Gym Jordan continues to be a bully and that's how he runs his minority leadership -- and it's not like he can change his stripes -- my guess is that he will be kicked out of the minority leader position before the end of his first year.

It's not that Republicans don't like bullies. It's more that, as the Brits say, "They don't like it up 'em." They thought they wanted Kevin McCarthy too, until they didn't. My guess is that Republicans can't find anyone better who actually wants the job.

Also, every two-year Congress sets the rules for itself anew, each time, including what requirements must be met to kick a Speaker out of the chair. They are being worked on now, deciding what to keep and what to change, and the new set of rules will be introduced for passage on the first day of the new Congress.

But as Jordan will now be only minority leader, it's up to his party caucus to put him out if, and likely when, they've had enough.
