They keep voting till there's another speaker. EVEN IF IT TAKES DAYS OR WEEKS OR LONGER!

Backdoor government shutdown. Don't elect a Speaker for 45 days and fail to pass another CR.

They can't pass a Continuing Resolution. Until they have a Speaker, the only business they can conduct is electing a new Speaker

I think the record is two months back in the 1850's
