4. He can't deliver a majority of his own caucus. He's toast. |

Now up comes Cantor, the smyler with the knife...
Every Robespierre his Danton.

10. He has to step down for that to happen. |
|
The Republicans can't just decide they want to change their leader in the middle of the session.
It is not a wise decision as it then shows their party is in disarray.

13. Sure they can. Majority of majority caucus says 'Buh-bye'.... |
|
...he's gone. Unless Dems vote for him on the floor.
Speaker is a parliamentary office, not a Constitutional one, except that there has to be one.
Resignation's traditional (Tower, Gingrich, Livingstone) but not required

14. Vote for House Speaker at the beginning of each session. |
|
They don't get to call for another election. Boehner would have to voluntarily resign or die.
