re: #294 lawhawk

Turns out I was wrong earlier when I said if Republicans aren’t united around a new choice, you would get Speaker Pelosi. You need an absolute majority of votes cast to become Speaker, and if no one gets that, then they vote again. Boehner only cleared that by seven votes back in January when a bunch of the crackpots didn’t vote for him, that’s why it was a big deal.

Wonder how long that would last for, and what the House can do in the interim.
