  - Can someone tell me what to root for here? And what are the actual effects of what I'm rooting for? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 3, 10:12 14
    - Right now, it's a done deal there will be a second vote. This vote is roll call by voice and takes over an hour. - spamlet Jan 3, 10:13 9
      - it's a big blow to any power he may have had.. he clearly can't control his party, he cannot control with any certainty any votes. -- nm - colin Jan 3, 10:14 8
        
        curious which side will blink first and come up with a compromise choice for Speaker. (ie Jordan) -- nm - Jovian Jan 3, 10:16 6
        
        There's zero chance Jordan is the Speaker. -- nm - spamlet Jan 3, 10:20 3
        
        He's already got 3 Votes! -- nm - decline Jan 3, 10:22 2
        
        One for Martin, two for Martin! -- nm - David Jan 3, 10:23 1
        
        heh -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 10:32
        
        My understanding is that it’s Scalise’s to lose if (when?) McCarthy fails. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 3, 10:19
        
        I don't think even his fans want him speaking for the party.. he's great on a committee to ask stupid "outrage" questions, but - colin Jan 3, 10:18
        
        a clear indication of how big of a sh!tshow the next 2 years will be -- nm - decline Jan 3, 10:15
    - just root for the Sweet Meteor of Death to put us all out of our misery -- nm - decline Jan 3, 10:13 3
      - misery? this is a hoot -- nm - mud Jan 3, 10:13 2
        
        Seriously. With this and Tesla tanking, its been a fun morning/early afternoon. -- nm - Jovian Jan 3, 10:15 1
        
        52-wk high: 402.67, 52-wk low: 104.65 is a hell of a stat. -- nm - colin Jan 3, 10:19
Is there something like a no-confidence voter for Speaker mid-term? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 3, 10:08 2
- Motion to vacate, yes. - znufrii Jan 3, 10:12
- That was one of the concessions the nutbars wanted. -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 10:10
Assuming "person A" wins, how long can they retain that position? - Mop Jan 3, 10:07 3
- Once a speaker is elected, you’d have to have a majority support for a motion to vacate in order to have another vote for speaker. - znufrii Jan 3, 10:11
- Depends on the rules. Currently, I believe it takes a majority of the ruling party but McCarthy gave away the house to lower it to 5 GOP to call -- (edited) - spamlet Jan 3, 10:10
- They're speaker for the whole session unless they resign. -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 10:09
Lol. - znufrii Jan 3, 10:05 3
- I've got Twitter up. The sixth also came in the Cs so on to second vote unless something truly weird happens. -- nm - spamlet Jan 3, 10:06 2
  - is there someone commentating on this on twitter that would be good to follow? -- nm - colin Jan 3, 10:15 1
    - I follow Kornacki already and he's been counting. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 3, 10:20
