@ChadPergram 1) Note that regardless or what happens on the Speaker vote, Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) has a resolution - which would go immediately to the front of the legislative line - to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC). 2) The resolution would require the House to ELECT McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore for a fixed period. House precedent and rules would allow McHenry to run the House as an elected Speaker Pro Tempore compared to being an appointed one now. 3) There is nothing Jordan or his allies could do to stop this resolution from hitting the floor....

"I do use this in a pejorative term, and it's adulting." Maj. Gen. James Isenhower III, the commander of the 1st Armored Division, was suggesting to a room packed with spectators earlier this month that a key cause of the mold and other poor living conditions in the Army is soldiers and families not maintaining their living spaces.
