My favorite was during Obama's presidency, he veto'd a bill that they then voted to override and then they blamed him for not warning them on the consequences of said bill passing. lolI vaguely remember that. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...

Spoinkfan718 posted... So under what circumstances will Jeffries win? If they change the rules to be majority?Yeah, they'd have to agree to change the rules so that a plurality can become speaker. That still wouldn't mean much, though, because you'd still need a majority to pass bills. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...

littlebro07 posted... maybe this was explained already but why can't Jeffries be named speaker if he got the most votes? He needs the majority of the total votes to become speaker. In order to pass bills, you need a majority of votes in the house, so it makes sense to require that the speaker have a majority of votes to have that position. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ...

littlebro07 posted... maybe this was explained already but why can't Jeffries be named speaker if he got the most votes?You need a majority of the votes. Since there are 435 votes, that means you need 218 votes to win speaker. This threshold could lower if members vote present as those don't count as votes. Having a speaker that is not majority-voted for is not something the house is interested in. As I mentioned earlier, if a plurality determined the speaker, I can guarantee that this issue wouldn't be going on anyways as the McCarthy opposition would have voted for him in order to prevent a democratic speaker at that point. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 34, 500th posts: 34; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

Looking like McCarthy is going to need a talking to between votes to withdraw his candidacy.

BewmHedshot posted... Ugh they cannot really make Gym Jordan speaker of the house, can they? We already had Donald Fucking Trump as President. He won't have the support. The strategy is to pincer McCarthy out by denying him the speakership by backing a radical, forcing McCarthy to concede and back someone else that can get the radical bloc to support.
