Can it? it says names to the clerk of MEMBERS

                               Vacancy

      The Office of Speaker may be declared vacant by resolution, which 
  may be offered as a matter of privilege. Manual Sec. 315; 6 Cannon 
  Sec. 35. Under rule I clause 8(b)(3), adopted in the 108th Congress, 
  the Speaker is required to deliver to the Clerk a list of Members in 
  the order in which each shall act as Speaker pro tempore in the case 
  of a vacancy in the Office of Speaker. The Member acting as Speaker 
  pro tempore under this provision may exercise such authorities of the 
  Office of Speaker as may be necessary and appropriate pending the 
  election of a Speaker or Speaker pro tempore. A vacancy in the Office 
  may exist by reason of the physical inability of the Speaker to 
  discharge the duties of the Office.

I heard some fat guy on CNN earlier say it had to be a member.

Oh Jesus fucking Christ...... its vacant

Get fucked Kevin, lol. Wish the Senate would kick turtle fuck to the curb. 

Right now sitting at 216 for ouster, and 210 against.  3 NV on the GQP side (Carter (TX), Gooden (TX), and Luna).  4 NV on the Democratic side (Bush (MO), Pelosi (CA), Peltola (Alaska), and Sykes (OH)).

And deprive myself of these wonderful interactions? Eh. I'd just have to read it all in other people's quotes regardless.

Yeah, idk who the fat guy is but I believe he is right.  It can't just be some rando.  

Now the GOP caucus could pick a rando, but the immediate SPT will be a member.

Wow the 3rd step in the line of succession for the presidency is vacant for the first time ever. Fucking crazy shit and historically wild times.

Patrick McHenry is the new speaker pro tempore

I just had a very funny thought. What if the pro tem is Gaetz? What if that's something he got out of McCarthy back in January for his support, keeping in mind that Gaetz didn't even end up voting for him? Would McCarthy have been that stupid/desperate? 

 

eta: damnit, well there goes the funniest possible scenario.

BIG WIN FOR MATT GAETZ!!!!!  WOO HOO!!!

Did Nestor finally agree to anal?  

FFS can they move and talk any slower?  They took their sweet ass time giving people time to change their mind and save McCarthy.   

who in their right mind would try and step up and lead this group of republicans? 

is the most likely outcome here that the dems + a handful of moderate republicans pick the next speaker?

He banged that gavel like it owed him money

McCarthy proved pretty thoroughly that you can't work with the Magats because they refuse to compromise on anything and aren't serious about governing.  The Republicans can try it again, but it will end the same way.

Trouble is he fucking lies to everybody about everything it sounds. You can't trust him with anything he says.

Wow, whoever it was that banged the gavel did it VERY aggressively.

Lol, aint no republican gonna ever try and meet dems anywhere in the middle. It'd be career suicide. Let it stay open. Don't do shit. Shut it all down. Fuck you kevin and fuck you maga.

McHenry is ideological enough to satisfy the caucus and has the strongest tactical skills of the current leadership team (including the credibility to work with Jeffries), but he won't get the job. 

Well here's his chance! 

I dont think Ive ever watched the something like this on TV. Do they always bang the gavel that hard?

You Tain't lying man.  Wanna make some long distance phone calls?  

How fucking chaotic is D.C. gonna be tonight.  If you're in the sex worker or drug trade anywhere in the MD-DC-NoVa area, I'd get to getting.  Everybody's gonna be looking to scrub the inside of their brains and anuses this eve.

That would be the sane and rational path.  So.....

....this.

Option 1: the cowards in the remaining GQP cave to the MAGA bunch and install Donald Trump as speaker.

Option 2: moderate GQPers and Dems combine to pick a speaker.

 

The difference between those is that Option 1 actually has a decent chance of happening.  Option 2 will happen immediately after my three way with Sela Ward and Susanna Hoffs, while I'm waving around a note of approval from my wife.  Also, the three way happens on Mars. Outdoors.

I had to look up Patrick McHenry

Patrick McHenry - Wikipedia

 

He looks totally normal. Has anyone cross-checked the youth-pastor thread?

Oh, so NOW Matt is worried about the national debt?

Well that's the whitest moment in U.S. history.  Does Edgar Winter know his son is now Speaker of the House?  

I can’t see any scenario where Gaetz doesn’t get booted from Congress. The moderates have to weaken that group and the ethic investigation gives them cover to do it, unless the wizard of oz behind the curtain won’t allow the Pubs to do it. But I have a hard time believing the true decision makers behind the curtain are aligned either.

1.) This is mildly terrifiyng.

2.) Listen, Salt & Vinegar chips are my jam. So are Salt & Vinegar almonds. Pretty much anything. But the idea of some kind of salt & vinegar...sauce? I mean, fuck and no. That is revolting, espesically if it has a cream consistenty. But even just dipping something into a cup of plain vinegar? No thanks. 

Have you never seen the whole skit?
