The 48-hour deadline has lapsed, interesting result.

A tie eh? Well this is certainly interesting. What happens when there is a tie?

I suppose VP Peanut breaks it just like any other tie?

Since the vote hasn't been closed yet, Razze could decide to extend and then vote himself since the rules don't set a limit on how long a speaker election must take.

If not, the vice president casts a tiebreaker.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Yes I'll extend the Speaker vote. I wanted to wait for everyone else to vote before I cast my ballot this afternoon, but work ended up going much later than expected and here we are. Nothing that hasn't happened before, of course

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

I, razze, Dean of the Atlasian House of Representatives, do hereby declare Representative Thumb21 to be interim Speaker of the House until a Speaker is chosen for the May-June term.

I nominate myself. I think I've fulfilled my role as speaker in terms of keeping things moving and knowing the rules I need to enforce, and I've also helped bring a rule change that has improved the flow of the house. I've also taken special measures to help allow bills about Coronavirus to reach the floor quickly such as by adding new slots specifically for bills about the pandemic.

I second thumb for Speaker. He has demonstrated the right kind of leadership on this floor that we need.

I third the nomination of Thumb21. He has shown great ability as speaker throughout.
