Lacking a Speaker, House Ceases to Function

Lawmakers in the House have yet to be sworn in. They can’t help constituents or get classified briefings, much less hold hearings or pass laws. And at some point, they may have trouble getting paid.

Think it’s more like: in any other circumstance, Republicans would pretend to believe Biden can’t be trusted, but here their true understanding of the situation is revealed. Should affect how credulously we treat their future pronouncements.

@brianbeutler Wait, he admits Biden is the President? Doesn't that automatically disqualify him for Speaker?
