Can he be stripped of his Speakership? How?
I think this healthcare ‘gimmick’ has been pinned completely to the House, and if they fail (better than 50-percent chance now)...then it’s on Ryan’s back as a failure. He’d likely be asked to step down as Speaker.
Maybe Trump orchestrated this as a failure situation....to bring Ryan down, and to bring in new leadership and a better plan at the end of 2017. This little DNA gimmick attachment to this current plan...was awful stupid, and a deal-breaker as far as I’m concerned.

Call for a no-confidence vote and hope you get a majority backing no confidence. Thing is Democrats get to vote also and they may just vote for Ryan to hit Trump.
There are better ways of doing this. These are his contributors.
Bank of America $85,644 $75,644 $10,000
Nike Inc $70,300 $69,300 $1,000
Blackstone Group$68,000 $68,000 $0
Pfizer Inc $63,255 $53,255 $10,000
Apple Inc $62,850 $62,850 $0
How much is it worth to them to see Ryan out of the speakers seat?
