There have been 14 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 14 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 1923.

    So was mandating vaccines for office workers and going to the gym. That was cool though.

    Looks like the Magatard cult of personality was bullshit. Like everything else

    Trump backs McCarthy. As does the establishment

    It's about issues and finding the most effective advocate out of an imperfect field

    I believe this removes Trump from that position

    Dazzler doesn't understand it when people take principled positions. It's so foreign to his way of thinking he can't process it.

    Remember, the Dazzler was a proud member of the "Resistance" who still pushes the Russian collusion lie.
