Opinion: Beyond the political theatrics, Kevin McCarthy will be the next House Speaker
Their only threat is an endless series of votes on the House floor, magnifying the judgment already being proclaimed by the Democrats that House Republicans are incompetent.
The Constitution gives no more guidance than that the “House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers.” When the newly elected representatives gather in Washington in the first week of January, they are called to order by the clerk of the House, who was appointed by the speaker from the previous Congress – Nancy Pelosi. That clerk decides how many votes are needed to be elected speaker.
