McCarthy for Speaker

A Democrat called Representative-elect George Santos a liar in Portuguese on the House floor after he cast his vote for Representative-elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House on Tuesday.

It's unclear who yelled the word "mentiroso," meaning "liar," in Portuguese and Spanish, but the Washington Post reported it came from the Democratic side of the chamber and was directed at Santos, who says his parents are immigrants from Brazil.

McCarthy endorsed Santos on the campaign trail, and Santos responded by giving a glowing endorsement of McCarthy to become the next Speaker. But Santos' vote and endorsement weren't enough on Tuesday to propel McCarthy to a leadership role — the House voted three times to try and elect a Speaker, but was thwarted each time by about 20 Republicans, including Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, and Chip Roy.

The House cannot move forward without a Speaker and must keep voting for one before any members are sworn in. Tuesday's failure to elect a Speaker on the first vote marked the first time such an event had happened in 100 years.

[QED]

1. Can Santos vote if he hasn't been sworn in?

And is it true that he can't be sworn in until there is a speaker?

2. That was my understanding, can't vote until sworn in.

3. I think he can vote for a Speaker

He can't vote for any legislation however till he's sworn in.

In the meantime.

6. None of them has been sworn in yet.

A speaker has to be elected first. I know, it makes no sense, but them's the House Rules and the House Rules rule.
