There just aren't enough votes to vote anyone Speaker outside McCarthy.
I'm just not seeing the problem here.
The house cannot do any business without a sitting speaker, a couple years of no new legislation would do the country a world of good!
That is actually the big problem with government. Being employed in it.
You feel like you need to “do something”.
So you do stuff, even if it is against the written law and Constitution.
Really the gov should just be presiding and ensuring that things are stable. It really should be sitting around doing nothing. Available if serious need comes up.
So these reps really should have a real job to keep them busy, and can do gov work if called upon.
