It's a long list, but well worth reviewing: the concessions Kevin McCarthy had to make to become Speaker:

—Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair
—A McCarthy-aligned super-PAC (the Congressional Leadership Fund) agreed to not spend in open Republican primaries in safe seats
—The House will hold votes on key conservative bills, including a balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits, and border security
