If they return, Spartz to continue to vote for a person, and everyone else also votes, then we'd be back to 434 members, which moves the number back to 218.
222 - 6 = 216.

You’re not saving America, Dipshit, you’re wrenching control of the direction we’ve decided we want to go from We the People and telling us how it’s gonna be because you want it that way. What is the will of the people, anyway? At this point, it’s nowhere near what Republican “legislators” are pushing.

Look carefully at her face. Not her appearance but her expressions. She is a raging kettle of acid. I can't begin to imagine how anyone so privileged becomes so bitter.

E.g., CNN:
As always, no more than nine "present" Republican votes (or not voting), plus the vacancy, would give McCarthy 213 votes to Jeffries' 212.Colorado Rep. Boebert is in the mix as a potential "present" vote, sources say
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado is among the GOP holdouts considered to be in the mix to vote "present" when the House reconvenes at 10 p.m. ET, multiple sources tell CNN.
CNN previously reported that Rep. Kevin McCarthy and his allies are trying to convince some of the holdouts to simply vote "present" (rather than for or against him) to help lower the threshold of votes needed for McCarthy to become speaker.
GOP Reps. Matt Rosendale and Eli Crane are also considered top targets of McCarthy allies in these final hours before returning to the floor, but it wasn't previously known Boebert is a possibility.

What we’ve witnessed is monumental and a testament to how government should function in our Constitutional Republic. As we continue negotiations, I’m confident our conference is positioned to get the ball over the finish line. (2/3)
The Speaker’s Office must work for We The People, and I believe the concessions we’ve secured achieve this. Republicans are ready to govern and deliver results on behalf of our constituents and the nation. (3/3)
I was just wondering if Gaetz would like to humiliate him one last time.
