I don't care if they keep doing it over and over again. It helps to display the level of stupidity in the GOP...just in case there was any doubt before.

This is rather entertaining.

It's a hung jury. Mistrial, get rid of 'em all.

Correct. That’s a VERY dumb question.

They have to keep voting because your Constitution requires that the House have a Speaker chosen by its members.

True, but does that mean that they have to vote multiple times per day?

They literally can't conduct any other business until they elect a Speaker.
