Looks like Boehner will need Pelosi's help.

According to the aide, Boehner and the House would act first on Wednesday on a bill put together overnight in the Senate, will extend the debt limit until Feb. 7, and include a continuing resolution until Jan. 15, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

I don't think they can take away his speakership... because they don't have anyone with the stature to replace him. The election is 12 months away.

Plus, the delusional Tea Party wacks, the group that would want to unseat him... don't have a majority to get the replacement they prefer seated.

Funny, I don't see the premise of Geruds' claim anywhere in that linked thread...

The linked story says this:

Officials say House Republicans are offering to pass legislation to avert a default and end the partial government shutdown as part of a package that includes cuts in benefit programs.

Senior aides to Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor outlined the proposal at a late-night White House meeting Thursday with senior administration officials.

In addition to ending the shutdown and increasing the debt limit, the proposal includes an easing of the across-the-board spending cuts that began taking effect a year ago, and replacing them with curbs in benefit programs that Obama himself has backed.

Among them is a plan to raise the cost of Medicare for better-off beneficiaries.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss private deliberations.
