Why are so many FReepers ill informed?

Question all propaganda.

US Constitution rules by PLURALITY.

If Palin or Bannon can out vote Ryan,
they are SPEAKER.

I REALLY AM TIRED OF CORRECTING THESE VOTE ERRORS.
Over and over again. Ugh.

US Constitution rules by PLURALITY.

Where in the Constitution does it lay out the voting procedure for the SOH?

Although no rule exists, based on tradition and practice from the earliest days of the nation, to be elected speaker a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all votes cast for individuals, i.e. excluding those who abstain. If no candidate wins such a majority, then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected. The last time repeated votes were required was in 1923, when the Speaker was elected on the ninth ballot.[5]
