One of the demands could be to strip naked on the floor of the house and slather his body with nutella and marshmallow fluff while singing "nearer, my god, to thee" and after this debasing humiliation KMC would still lose.

At what point does someone take the clerk aside and say, hey, we've done pluralities in the past...

Either McCarthy or Jefferies at that point. I wouldn't be surprised if the burn it all down caucus wouldn't just let Jefferies be Speaker.

like there is no actual law governing how this works, the roll call vote is done based on agreed precedent and convention. theoretically you could move to have the speaker chosen by lot, or wrestling match if enough people agreed to the motion

Jeffries has received 212 votes 8 times now in a Speaker election, which is 1696 votes total. I wonder what the record for most received speaker votes in the history of the US is. What's the most without ever being Speaker? I just want some obscure record stats like I am watching F1.

How many more rounds of voting before the clerk starts the voting by announcing: "If you take longer than 10 seconds to give me a name after you start talking, I'm just listing you as "present"."?

What the gently caress are you even doing, Boebert "We have a plan! We have multiple plans! That's why we're nominating two people simultaneously, look at all these plans!  "
