...expelling him from the House Republican Conference and eliminating all his committee assignments and all resources other than those an individual member is entitled to..
I think this is very possible. The few congressmen hold an outsize power, and the other 90% of the House of Representatives will have a long memory.

No committees, no money for your district.

McCarthy’s speakership now at the mercy of Dems

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced a resolution Monday evening to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his seat, triggering an expected intraparty clash and setting up a showdown for the House to decide whether to depose McCarthy likely within 48 hours.

Now THAT'S funny.

Looks like the Dems will not step in to "save" McCarthy. It will be up to the Republicans to decide whether they want McCarthy to continue as Speaker.
