Empowering McHenry or bringing back McCarthy are the only viable choices.
The people’s business needs to get done, or Republicans will rightly be blamed.
Did you neglect to add your /sarc tag?
I question the constitutionality of bypassing choosing a Speaker with some kind of "temporary Speaker". If they are going to vote for a limited-powers speaker, just vote for a Speaker. Any kind of half-Speaker will just take the pressure off of them to choose a proper Speaker.
If they want McHenry, let him announce for the full Speakership. If they want to keep the "temporary" option, then keep the motion to vacate rule in effect.

Said EVERY RINO Rep, on twitter, yesterday.
🙃
You must be a big fan of Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Lizard Cheney.
the people’s business is reining in spending which will occur if there is no speaker.
Or... we could go 15 ballots like McCarthy did and maybe get a conservative speaker!
Utter nonsense.
What? More Business As Usual?
Never Ending CR’s and Pork Filled Onmibus Bills?
No Thx.

Following the debacle of the past two weeks, I agree.
Matt Gaetz has demonstrated that it’s quite easy to be a bomb thrower. It’s an entirely different thing to throw yourself into the hard work of legislating and winning over support for your positions.
Gaetz booted McCarthy, but had no backup plan on what do next. Creating this clown show could very well cost the GOP the House majority in 2024.
For all the new Matt Gaetz fan club members on FR, please recall that when it was time to get behind a candidate in the 2016 GOP primaries, Gaetz enthusiastically endorsed that staunch conservative - Jeb Bush!
Bottom line - Gaetz is under an Ethics investigation in the House, and was miffed that McCarthy refused to intervene and set it aside. Not my kind of leader.
Apparently you like the direction we’re going.
“The people’s business needs to get done.”
What people’s business? All they have done for 50 years is shaft the people. Absolutely nothing “for the people” has come out since they have had the house. They hate us the people, we are an inconvenience and get in the way of their corruption agenda.
