After insisting it was a red line he wouldn’t cross, Mr. McCarthy agreed to lower from five to one the number of members required to force a vote on ousting a speaker. He’s essentially agreed to let the rebels hold a gun to his head with the threat to pull the trigger if he makes any moves they don’t like. Mr. McCarthy also agreed to give members of the House Freedom Caucus more seats on the powerful Rules Committee, which sets the parameters for floor debates, and he’s apparently agreed to allow floor votes on instituting term limits on members.
