There are not 218 Republicans who want to govern. They would much rather grind the Congress to halt than let anything through if it is not purely and perfectly conforming to their ideological priors. If someone else becomes speaker he or she is probably in the same boat. And again like John Boehner called this legislative terrorism, that's what Joe Biden should expect going forward which is starting with the debt ceiling vote.
