On further reading, it looks as if this may not be as easy as they think (certainly not as easy as kicking out McCarthy). Johnson, for all his myriad faults, turns out to be pretty savvy, politically speaking - his willingness to work with House Democrats on the budget and other things may convince enough of them to vote to keep him if another motion to vacate is attempted.
This will also have the effect of nullifying the outsized influence of the MAGA faction in the House generally.
