Apparently the CWA is another one of those famous government deals that're binding only so long as they're convenient.

But Republicans have also change the job description. The House speaker had previouosly been the most powerful position in the House. Now the Speaker is just a figurehead. All the real power is held by the Republican leadership. Republicans just want to keep a genial figurehead speaker who doesn't create problems the way Ginrich did.
