New Speaker Election Thread

[RC (a la Frémont)]

Nominations for Speaker of the House of Representatives will open now and continue for 24 hours.

I think the nominations should be closed by now.

Also really, I'm now seeing bills where members of both the 20th and 21st are voting on the same final vote, please, if you don't have the time to close it in a timely manner, I get it, you'll get time later, but we need someone now. I'd like to nominate Blair if he is willing just because he's demonstrating a good amount of activity already.

Does someone have the order of succession for the House seats compiled correctly? This will determine how votes get displaced by new members.

Apologies for the delay! I got caught up this weekend. Since Blair did not accept his nomination for Speaker, there is only one candidate, YE. Please vote yes or no on confirming YE as Speaker for the next Congress.

There is only one candidate for Speaker. I suppose this means we confirm Ninja Jimmy YE by acclimation? So if everyone could say Aye or Nay we can move along with this.

I'll accept write-in's for Blair if you are someone who cares that this election is an actual competition

I was asleep and at work when the nomination was made- but I'm honoured by the nomination, however due to change in events since I ran I sadly won't have the time to do as good a job as speaker as I'd want to.
