Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) just came on board and voted for Jordan. He said yesterday that he voted for McCarthy out of loyalty but that he intended to support Jordan today.

I can’t tell for sure, but I think a woman had never received a vote for Speaker from a Republican before today.

The fact that it’s a powerless position goes to shows that no-one would have anticipated the House being unable to elect a speaker like this in the middle of a term Aiui, the interim speaker post was only created after 9/11 and virtually nobody knew it even existed until now: the Clerk to the House asks the Speaker to nominate a successor behind closed doors. So there's no precedent for what McHenry can or can't do. He's being cautious at the moment, but that might change if this drags on.

For instance, suppose McHenry starts to assert some of the powers normally associated with the Speaker - bringing a Bill to the floor of the House, for instance.
I presume the remedy for anyone thinking he is exceeding his authority is a motion to vacate the chair. But if such a motion is voted down, then his action will be upheld and lo! It's suddenly part of his suite of powers.
(If he wants to try this he should start with a Bill that will appeal to all or most of the Democrats and a significant number of Republicans. Something proposing aid for Israel ought to do the trick.)
Incidentally, does anyone know whether McHenry has in his turn privately nominated a successor to the Clerk?

Although it's obviously unlikely to ever come to it there is also the question over the Presidential line of succession, I believe the interim Speaker position can't count for that at the moment so it would go down to the next level
