The last time there were multiple ballots, the House adjourned until the following day after four failed ballots. Adjourning also allows members time to negotiate and strike deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Dire circumstances could lead to unusual procedures.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/GPO-HPRACTICE-108\/html\/GPO-HPRACTICE-108-35.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twice before<\/a>, in 1849 and 1856, the House agreed to a resolution that allowed a Speaker to be elected by a plurality. That move was something of a last resort, though, and came after 59 and 129 failed ballots. A majority of the whole House would need to agree to that resolution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>McCarthy&#8217;s failure to secure the Speaker&#8217;s gavel during Tuesday&#8217;s vote marks the first time in a century the U.S. House of Representatives has gone to multiple votes for the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hours before the 118th Congress began its leadership deliberations the influential conservative organization Club for Growth urged lawmakers to oppose McCarthy for Speaker unless he makes a number of concessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I just voted for Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the House.&#8221; Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R) tweeted during the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s my vote for Speaker of the House. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Un1eG9agFi\">pic.twitter.com\/Un1eG9agFi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Rep.

McCarthy was initially named the sole Republican contender for the position but some blamed the California Republican for the lackluster midterm results leading them to declare their early opposition to his bid for Speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/3795223-mccarthy-offers-concessions-to-detractors-with-house-rules-package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hill<\/a>, Rep. McCarthy offered a number of concessions including allowing a move to \u201cvacate the chair\u201d that would force a vote on ousting the Speaker with the approval of five Republican members, rather than a threshold of at least half of the House GOP Conference that Republicans adopted in an internal rule in November.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The chamber is also scheduled to create a House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the \u201cWeaponization of the Federal Government,\u201d a recognition of a request to increase scrutiny on the Biden administration and intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter to GOP colleagues, McCarthy \u2014 speaking as \u201cSpeaker-Designate\u201d \u2014 also addressed a request from conservatives to have more representation on committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will use my selections on key panels to ensure they more closely reflect the ideological makeup of our conference, and will advocate for the same when it comes to the membership of standing committees. This will facilitate greater scrutiny of bills from the start so they stand a greater chance of passing in the end,\u201d the letter from McCarthy said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite McCarthy&#8217;s best attempts to re-attract hardline Republican lawmakers back to his side, some conservatives said after a Sunday conference call that McCarthy is still coming up short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/mccarthy-critics-say-concession-on-motion-to-vacate-doesnt-go-far-enough\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Washington Examiner<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>During the course of the call, multiple members \u201csaid they won\u2019t vote for it [the rules package] if Kevin is not Speaker,\u201d one lawmaker told The Examiner. Another member said moderates expressed grievances with the changes to the motion to vacate despite pro-McCarthy lawmakers attempting to sell the package to defectors in hopes it would shift critics&#8217; support toward the California Republican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey started [the call] with this new rules package that we&#8217;re all about to see and are obviously saying the rules package &#8211; it&#8217;s great, everyone worked so hard, we got all these great things and they&#8217;re gonna be historic. And then [Gaetz] got on there and said, &#8216;Well, if everyone wants the rules package, we should accept it no matter who the speaker is because if these are good rules are good rules, right?\u2019\u201d the lawmaker said. \u201cBut then the mods piled on and said actually, we hate the rules package.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the call, a group of conservatives released a letter saying the California Republican&#8217;s changes had come up short of what was needed to secure support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Conservatives still unsold on McCarthy after GOP conference call, but say progress has been made. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z652bTBRNx\">pic.twitter.com\/Z652bTBRNx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Juliegrace Brufke (@juliegraceb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/juliegraceb\/status\/1609700520049999873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cRegrettably, however, despite some progress achieved, Mr. McCarthy\u2019s statement comes almost impossibly late to address continued deficiencies ahead of the opening of the 118th Congress on January 3rd. At this stage, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is especially true with respect to Mr. McCarthy\u2019s candidacy for Speaker because the times call for radical departure from the status quo \u2014 not a continuation of past, and ongoing, Republican failures. For someone with a 14-year presence in senior House Republican leadership, Mr. McCarthy bears squarely the burden to correct the dysfunction he now explicitly admits across that long tenure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House Freedom Caucus chairman Scott Perry told The Hill on Sunday, \u201cI think what he\u2019s trying to do is the bare minimum that he needs to try and get to where he can get the votes.
