Not without loosing a majority of his solid Republican votes.
And what is the threshold for recalling a speaker currently? I seem to recall it's 50. Definitely attainable.

It may be unusual that it didn’t happen on the first vote but certainly doesn’t make it bizarre. It’s a system that’s been in place for a few hundred years now. Speakers are voted in by their peers not appointed or assumed as if by magic. Even Pelosi’s nomination for speaker was at one time in question. I’m sure there is plenty of wheelin’ and dealin’ and jockeying for position going on. Drama

As I understand it.
Dems vote only on their own candidate GOP vote only on their own Candidate Isn't there a person both side can put their vote on ? Or is your politics divided by a 20 meter concrete wall ? Markus

Read Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake, then you know where it leads: hollowed out ceremonies and petrified rituals. (Fantastic and bizarr and humours and artistic gothic novel, btw, read it even if not interested in the political debate, it is not political at all. One of my books for the island list. Do not watch the films, they are terrible). Add to it that the system already is being intentionalyl derailed and abused for powerpolitical opportunism. No, its not holy, not everlasting. Nothing man-made ever is. Historic context is key.

Nothing that I know of says the speaker of the house must be a current member of the House or affiliated with a political party. I suppose the possibilities are endless.

Based on my very uninformed opinion. Everyone in the puzzle palace seems to appreciate the work The Clerk of the House; The Honorable Cheryl L. Johnson doing. She doesn't appear to take any crap from either party.

I know it will never happen. But I did read her bio, she's not stupid nor seem to be interested in trying to win a popularity contest and she has been fulfilling the role since Pelosi stepped down.
