So... what, 6 more votes then he's in the top 5?

The record since the civil war is nine ballots, so he's on track to set a modern record at least.

You know, we talk a lot since the escalator about "constitutional crisis" but this is what one looks like. There's a reason this poo poo basically hasn't happened since the Civil War.

Could they vote in Jeffries/McCarthy, get everyone properly seated, then vote of no-confidence? What happens? Do they get unseated? Can business resume without a speaker then?

What happens if the Clerk up and quits, or has a heart attack? Seems like the Clerk is voted in by the House, and if there is no House….

This is a very good question. From what I can tell there is no contingency for the clerk up and quitting in the period between the adjournment of the old session and election of the next speaker. First order of business of the newly elected speaker (after swearing everyone in) is to nominate a clerk and call a vote on it.

Realistically I would imagine one of these two folks would step up: Robert Reeves is Deputy Clerk and Gigi Kelaher is Senior Advisor to the Clerk.

Though while looking into this, I found this entry on wikipedia and uh... wow. This could get interesting.

Disputes in 19th century

In the 19th century, the power of the preceding House Clerk to organize the House played a significant role at the beginning of several congresses.[6] Following the 1838 elections, at the first meeting of the 26th Congress in December 1839, House Clerk Hugh Garland omitted the names of five Whigs from New Jersey from the roll call. After days of debate, the Whigs were not seated, effectively creating a Democratic majority in a closely divided House. Only then was the roll call completed and a Speaker elected.[6]: 15–17 

In 1863, at the beginning of the 38th Congress during the Civil War, House Clerk Emerson Etheridge called the roll, excluding 16 members from five pro-Union states (Maryland, Missouri, West Virginia, Kansas, and Oregon) while including three members from Louisiana.[6]: 24  The effort failed, a motion was made to add the missing delegations, and a Speaker was then elected.[6]: 25  Edward McPherson was then elected to replace Etheridge as Clerk for the 38th Congress.

Two years later, in December 1865 as the path of Reconstruction was being determined, McPherson omitted the names of members-elect from Tennessee, Virginia, and Louisiana from the roll for the 39th Congress, and allowed no interference or interruption during his call. After heated debate, in which a member-elect from Tennessee tried to gain floor recognition but was denied, a motion was made by Thaddeus Stevens to proceed to the election of Speaker, which was eventually agreed to.[6]: 26–27  This enabled the Radical Republicans to firmly control Congress, ultimately imposing stricter conditions on readmission of Southern states and enabling Congress to override many vetoes from President Andrew Johnson.

 So how exactly does the whole "rules package" that I've seen mentioned a few times in regards to McCarthy's concessions work? Is it "The person elected as speaker provides the rules for that session of congress" or is it something provided by the leader of the majority party?

If Jeffries or Donalds win, do they get to introduce a different set of rules from what McCarthy was making concessions on?

I believe (could be wrong) the House literally cannot do anything without a Speaker. Someone would need to be elected to the seat before things resumed.
