  Doesn't the speaker make that rule though?  The hard lines requested to reduce this to one vote I believe.
context: “I was talking to folks and I was late, that’s all,” Perry told HuffPost afterward. “You ever been late to anything?”
  
  The nerve of these assholes. >
  
  "talking to folks" = "bullshitting on Fox News" >
  
  This is why Dems are smart to stick around and keep voting Jeffries. 
  As time goes on, the odds that people will bungle things increase. It's still a longshot, but if enough Republicans bungle this at once, it could lead to some interesting outcomes. >
  
  Out of all the outcomes, I hadn't even thought of that. Jeffries becoming speaker on accident is a real, albeit slim, possibility. >
  
  It wouldn't really matter in the sense that Republicans would just instantly vote to remove him again, but it would definitely add yet another layer of humiliation to this already giant shitshow. >
  
  Doesn't the speaker have to allow the vote to happen? >
  
  I believe the current rule is if half of the majority party requests it, they can force a vote on the speaker at any time
