The rules of the last Congress expire today.

Therefore, there are no call in votes due to COVID. That’s a rule of the previous House.

Members have to be in attendance to vote for Speaker, and to adopt new rules.

It would be a hoot if not enough Dems showed up, and Kevin McCarthy became the new Speaker.
