Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Anne Frankly it's ridiculous!

'strong probability' Mike Johnson 'doesn't survive the night'
In Minecraft
As much as I'd like to see Johnson out of the speaker's seat, they're only going to replace him with someone even worse.
As is tradition...
Just in: Hulk Hogan to become new speaker of the House.
Brother
As was foretold by prophecy
Imagine this party trying to replace someone with someone actually better for Americans. It's almost unheard of.
We'll get Speaker of the House Elon Musk before GTA 6
Or just cut to the chase and install Putin. That’s where Trump and Elon get their marching orders anyway. So much inefficiency in Elon’s “department of efficiency”
Watching C-Span. Going for first vote. Voice vote by member. I'm saying the first one will be a tie.
I was in a school group where we'd have a mock state government over a weekend in the official chambers. When there was a voice vote both sides would yell as loud as possible to make it sound like their side had more support. Invariably this led to a paper vote.
Does this happen in actual Congress?
Yes lol
The House rarely takes a voice vote by member. Each members name is called and they respond on who they vote for. This kind of vote only happens when speaker's are elected. There are verbal votes taken by the house as a group, with times as you describe. At that point, the side that is shouted down makes a motion for the yeas and nays. This makes all the members vote, now by electronic ballot
yeah. most things at their core follow the same rules so almost every thing has roll call votes and such. that cable channel that would play goings on with the house and senate would have like an hour span were it was name called out followed by their vote and they have an electronic system so it was being done even though the votes have no discrepency in count.
got my hopes up with the headline
