If they really can't find anyone, maybe the present one, will change his mind, stay another 13 months. So, he cried his way off, and he can cry his way get back on. Crazier things have happened in that town....Haven't they?
Great movie.......

(26,549 posts)The speaker gives the House clerk a list of people who would succeed him should he become incapacitated/leave office. The top person on that list automatically becomes a sort of "acting speaker" until a new speaker can be elected.
Ironically, the first person on that list is probably McCarthy, since he is majority leader. But neither Boehner nor the clerk are saying who's on the list.

(10,279 posts)congress, and I think that having her as Speaker would accomplish that. The idea that she could restore dignity to the Speakership is a joke.
