Theodore Pomeroy was speaker of the house for one day because after getting the position a new Congress was sworn in

Well that's silly as hell. Hopefully McCarthy is #2. But if this guy faded into obscurity McCarthy should as well.

Honestly I hope McCarthy keeps the job until the Dems control the house. Because with this narrow margin he will be forced to work with Dems to get anything done. Because their demands won't be as bad as the demands of MAGAts.

I think he's burned so many bridges with Dems they MAY have absurd demands too lol

Nobody's mind is being changed, people are just getting their names in the record.

I'm talking about their voters, not their representatives. Somewhere in the deep south there's a poor, blue collar worker whose passions are stirred by this horse shit.

They loop around to the ones who missed. Now they can get their vote on record once it no longer matters.

There was a vote to remove a speaker 120 years ago that failed. This is the first time that it was successful.

Wow that's pretty crazy.

No but it doesn't matter. This is a political disaster for Republicans and it will cost them a lot in the house elections.

So they're going to recess before electing a new speaker?

Over/under on how many rounds of voting until a speaker is elected? I'm guessing it'll go past 15 this time.

No.

Even even a more extreme republican becomes speaker, they won't be able to pass any extreme bills, that won't be instantly shut down by the Senate.
