After #JimJordan's 3rd failure to win #SpeakerOfTheHouse, #Republicans in the #USHouseOfRepresentatives remain divided in efforts to elect a new #HouseSpeaker.

It's been 2 weeks & the #RepublicanParty has been unable to name a #USHouseSpeaker. I'm hoping that this shows voters just how ineffective the #GOP is in governing, & also leading their own party. Until the divided #Republican party can decide on a new #Speaker, the #HouseofRepresentatives remains frozen.

Historian @jbf1755, a scholar of political violence in America, wrote this nytimes opinion: “[Republican] members are grappling with the reality of working with people who loudly and proudly challenge political institutions and the democratic process — in a democratic institution. During the speakership battle, that small group of extremists held the House of Representatives hostage.”

Poor leadership by McCarthy for the post of speakership. He has drag his party through this drama. A higher person would have either passed over the leadership mantle to someone else or would have made a deal with the democrats to keep the higher goal of public service.
He keeps repeating 'How we finish matters'. Well Mr. McCarthy, I can predict how it will end. Quote from Eliot's poem,
'This is the way the world ends,
Not with a bang but a whimper.'

TEN FAILED BALLOTS?!! I can't even. #republican'ts #America #ushousespeaker How does this movie end? 🍿

🇬🇧 The House has elected a Speaker 127 times since 1789. In the modern era, the Speaker is elected at the beginning of the new Congress by a majority of the Representatives-elect from candidates separately chosen by the majority- and minority-party caucuses. In cases of an unexpected vacancy during a Congress a new Speaker is elected by a majority of the House from candidates previously chosen by the majority and minority parties.
There have been 14 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 14 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 1923.

🇵🇹 A Câmara dos Representantes dos 🇺🇸 elegeu um presidente 127 vezes desde 1789, o presidente é eleito no início do novo mandato da Câmara dos Representantes dos 🇺🇸 pela maioria dos representantes eleitos de candidatos escolhidos separadamente pelas bancadas dos partidos majoritários e minoritários. Em caso de vacatura inesperada durante o mandato, um novo presidente é eleito pela maioria da Câmara dentre os candidatos previamente escolhidos pelos partidos majoritários e minoritários.
Houve 14 votações de eleições para Presidente da Câmara dos Representantes dos 🇺🇸 em que se exigiu mais que uma votação (os registros para o 2º Mandato da Câmara dos Representantes dos 🇺🇸, entre 1791–1793, foram inconclusivos e a Câmara preencheu vagas no cargo de presidente três vezes usando um "Voto por resolução"). Treze das 14 votações de voto múltiplo ocorreram antes da Guerra Civil, quando as divisões partidárias eram mais nebulosas. A última vez que uma eleição para presidente exigiu dois ou mais votos no plenário aconteceu em 1923.
