Resolves YES if the House grants the power to oversee the passage of legislation to Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC), before the election of a permanent Speaker of the House. Otherwise NO.

Any other speaker pro tempore does not count for this market.

(Standard rule for my markets: the resolution does not depend on the close date. The close date may be extended as necessary.)

Jim Jordan’s effort to empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry collapses
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, will back a plan to temporarily empower interim speaker Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.
predictedYES

@RickJacobus This race is way too chaotic, can these guys not stab eachother in the back for 5 minutes?

Will the House (eventually) elect a permanent Speaker, or just have a temporary speaker until the end of this term?
