Yep, and he did it with only 188 votes in the conference. So put down the GOP pompoms. Let's see him get the 218 votes necessary in the full house.

Spending Bill Rule Amendment Fails
Other amendments, including several put forward by the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), failed to garner enough support.
One rule amendment put forward by Good would have required the speaker to win the support of a majority of the GOP conference
This rule, called the “majority of the majority” rule, would give conservative Republicans a tool to ensure McCarthy’s good behavior.
After the closed-door meeting, Good reported dissatisfaction with how leaders were treating proposed rule changes. Good told reporters. “It was clear that the conference leadership had lined up opposition to go to the mic to talk to—to talk against every rule proposal,
every change that we put forward, or just about every one.”
Piss the Dems off and elect Trump as speaker of the house. The speaker does not have to be a sitting member of congress. I know, not going to happen but would be funny.
