This resolves YES if there is a physical fight on the floor of the house of reps during a Speaker vote.

Last Speaker vote with McCarthy, Rep. Rogers had to be restrained from punching Rep. Gaetz. That would have been sufficient to resolve YES though no punches were landed or thrown. I will follow that model.

Tensions are high with death threats and other form of intimidation between members. Will we reach a breaking point or is Matt Gaetz just uniquely punchable?

Deadline will be extended if there is no formal Speaker agreed upon.

“Sit your ass down,” McCarthy said, according to the source, prompting Gaetz to “say something back.”

The second source said Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.) “was ready to lunge across the room.”
