No idea.Does it need to be a different person each time?
No idea.
The most recently a Speakership vote took more than 9 rounds was 1859. That was an "interesting" session of Congress.
Well, we’ve hit that point.The most recently a Speakership vote took more than 9 rounds was 1859. That was an "interesting" session of Congress.
Was that the Sumner caning one?
Of course, why wouldn't they? This is the apotheosis of what the GOP started to become in 1980. This is the punch line to a 42-year long joke.
that was 1856 over a speech Sumner gave over slavery. Could you imagine the comedy of Gaetz going over to the senate floor and caning Schumer?

Schumer is one of the only democrats he could get away with caning if he tried. VIrtually every other Democrat would start throwing punches (or staplers).
Exactly. The only thing that happens if the Dems stay is the GOP leadership has to weaken itself. A single vote to vacate is ****ing neutering whomever takes the gavel. The dem's most powerful spot is exactly right now. Anything deviation from the current status quo is a weakening of their position.
