Truly the most important thing the interim House speaker should be focusing on right now - petty bullshit while someone is mourning a colleague. /s

This is so, so wrong. The motion was to "vacate the chair", not to play musical chairs. The chair is still vacant. There is no constitutionally empowered Speaker, just a guy the House agrees can help it choose the next one, once he gets around to it.

Is that PowerCrazy guy still arguing about it? I blocked his nonsense so I can only assume that’s what’s happening here.

edit: tbf, it could be someone or something else
