That would unironically be a great experiment, but it obviously won't happen.

If McCarthy agrees to always put continuing resolutions and debt limit increases up for a vote, that's a major concession. Basically the only thing a GOP-controlled House can do is obstruct must-pass legislation to blackmail Biden into making concessions. Take that leverage away, and Speaker McCarthy is basically a placeholder. I'd say it's a deal worth taking.
