Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US?
mctoasterson@reddthat.com 4 months agoThe House isn’t stuck with that though. They can amend the rules for the next session, and I’d imagine any speaker worth his salt would demand that rule be stricken because it is unworkable.

But in order to ammend the rules they first have to agree on it. Any speaker who opposes it can just be deposed because of the rule.
I know I’m being overoptimistic but I have high hopes for it.

In a new session isn’t there no speaker until one is elected with any rules?
Just don’t accept the rules and go into another cycle of endless votes for speaker.
