There is no \u201csecond in line\u201d in the Presidential succession, in fact, there is no one to \u201ccontrol\u201d the House of Representatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;Actually there is no \u201clegal\u201d House at the moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Until they select a Speaker, they cannot be sworn in as current members.&nbsp;&nbsp;No bills, no debates, no laws, and perhaps more significantly, no paychecks for members or staff until there is a Speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republicans have&nbsp;&nbsp;a slim majority in the House, 222,&nbsp;&nbsp;ten members more than the Democrats.&nbsp;&nbsp;To choose a Speaker, a majority of the Whole House, 218, need to agree on a candidate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That means that if only five Republicans won\u2019t support their Party\u2019s candidate for Speaker and vote for someone else, and all the Democrats stick together, no one can get a majority.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, there are 20 Republicans who will not agree to what the other 202 Republicans decided.&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u201cnorm\u201d is that once a Party caucus&nbsp;&nbsp;chooses a candidate, then all of the members of that Party are bound to vote for that candidate in the \u201cfull House\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the 20 don\u2019t feel bound by \u201cnorms\u201d, and they are unwilling to vote for their own caucus winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cCall the Roll\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the past three days, the House has done nothing but vote for Speaker. If they won\u2019t choose a Speaker, there is nothing else they can do.&nbsp;&nbsp;As I started this essay, we are in the middle of the eleventh cycle of voting.&nbsp;To add insult to injury, the House in this case doesn\u2019t use a fancy electronic scoreboard that tallies the 434 votes in fifteen minutes (one House seat is empty).&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, they call out each individual name, all 434 of them, and the Congressmen-elect respond (or fails to respond) by yelling out their choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>The Reading Clerk Will Call the Roll<\/em>\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;And so we embark on another hour and a half of call and answer, waiting for the minimum five Republican votes that will deny Kevin McCarthy his dream of Speaker-hood.&nbsp;&nbsp;So far, it\u2019s only taken to the \u201cC\u2019s\u201d of the alphabetical roll to get to five \u201crebels\u201d or \u201cinsurrectionists\u201d or \u201cdeniers\u201d or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democrats are sitting back, casting their 212 votes for their leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and watching the Republicans in chaos.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s probably the best time they\u2019ll have for the next two years.&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope they enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the voting begins in each round, the Clerk accepts nominations for \u201cSpeaker of the House\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We\u2019ve heard a lot of \u201cspeech-a-fying\u201d, as different Republicans rise to their feet to nominate McCarthy. And then there\u2019s more, as the nominators of the&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cstraw-man\u201d opponent, (you don\u2019t have to be a Congressman to be the Speaker) also gets a speech.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democrats, of course, nominate their candidate, Hakeem Jeffries, over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Democracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Republican speeches, and in comments Congressmen made to the press, I hear a lot about \u201cdemocracy\u201d at work.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some of them claim that the \u201c20\u201d are thwarting democracy, preventing the 90% of the Republican Caucus from enforcing their rule.&nbsp;&nbsp;Others say that this is \u201cdemocracy in action\u201d, the brave \u201c20\u201d refusing to be silenced by caucus \u201crules\u201d that call for unanimous support.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, of course, Democrats are pointing out the obvious.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hakeem Jeffries has a plurality of the vote, eleven times now in a row.&nbsp;&nbsp;He \u201cwon\u201d;&nbsp;shouldn\u2019t he be the Speaker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find it odd that either side of the Republican battle tries to claim the mantle of \u201cdemocracy\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;A vast majority (70<em>%)&nbsp;<\/em>of the Republican caucus are election deniers, who refused to accept the counted and certified results of the 2020 election.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s hard to hear them claim \u201cdemocracy\u201d, when in the biggest democratic (small d) action in our nation\u2019s history, the 2020 election of Joe Biden as President, they claim that it was fake, or illegal, or invalid.&nbsp;&nbsp;Many of them sat in this same House chamber and voted to decertify the election, even after the Insurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it\u2019s even odder that all of the Republicans \u2013 anti-Kevin or pro-McCarthy \u2013 invariably oppose laws that would make voting easier, or convenient, or fair for the general public.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both sides claim \u201cdemocracy\u201d as their goal, even though only the Democrats, can really make a legitimate claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anniversary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today is January 6<sup>th<\/sup>, the second anniversary of the Insurrection.&nbsp;&nbsp;But if we think the Insurrection is over, that the attempt to disrupt our government and our Constitution, ended when the \u201cShaman\u201d dude left the Capitol; we are wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019m no Republican, and like the Democrats in the House, I am fine with watching the GOP twist in their own chaos.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the 20 represent the Insurrectionist movement in America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They believe in the Steve Bannon philosophy we learned at the beginning of the Trump Administration so long ago. He stated that the government needs to be burned down (<a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2017\/02\/25\/the-bully-and-bannon\/\">The Bully and Bannon<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;Bannon had a \u201chigh falutin\u201d name for it \u2013 \u201cDe-Construction\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Insurrectionists two years ago, wandering the hallowed Capitol halls were just looking to find Mike, or Nancy, or Chuck, to physically de-construct them as symbols of the establishment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the 20 don\u2019t have an answer, or a real candidate for Speaker.&nbsp;&nbsp;They just want, as Lafayette said in the Musical&nbsp;<em>Hamilton<\/em>, \u201cHow do you say it:&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2018ANN-R-KEY\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is fitting that this might all come to a head today, January 6<sup>th<\/sup>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s just another step in Bannon\u2019s de-construction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whoever ends up with\u00a0\u00a0the job will have one without authority, an emasculated  Republican Speaker of the 118<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0House of Representatives .\u00a0\u00a0Is it time to \u201cRaise a Glass\u201d?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as a Democrat, I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker We don\u2019t have a Speaker of the House of Representatives.
