And now, I wonder if this might actually end up being the thing that convinces the abstainers to actually do something. Especially with Biden not doing anything and my not finding any articles explaining any nuclear option he could potentially take.
Is there something Biden can do? I mean, according to law or precedence? Multiple votes have happened before.
Not that I am aware of. This isn't the first time they've had multiple votes for a Speaker. This isn't even close to the most repeats. That would go to Rep. Nathaniel Prentice Banks of the 34th congress which took 133 votes according to this article.
