there's nothing to stop the majority party from withdrawing its support and bringing down a Speaker.

They’ll still be in office. Elections happen on a fixed schedule so they don’t face the oblivion promised in a true parlematary system ~ they get their salary, same committee assignments and all that. Only thing is the Speaker and his cronies get booted. But they’re still in Congress.
