      Greater than 45 days. They’re afraid McCarthy would get enough not-insane republicans to cross the aisle, so they had to get rid of him before he could pass a more permanent spending bill.

      They want to use every fiscal discussion as a hostage negotiation.

      I think the over/under is going to be hard to decide on because it seems like it’ll be first-order-of-business done in less than a week, or the full 45 days, or McHenry the Pro Tempore just starts acting like a Speaker and we never get a real vote.
