House Republicans must get their act together, serve the country rather than narrow interests or personal vendettas, and elect a House speaker now.
The only exception should be for serious doubts on ethics. Conscience votes on corruption must be allowed and should dictate a “no” vote. Otherwise, a “yes” vote should be automatic. The rule exists because an elected government has a responsibility to govern. The House by rule cannot legislate or perform many other functions without a speaker. To refuse to select a speaker holds the country hostage without a legislature at the whim of a recalcitrant few.
Elected officials owe some teamwork to the party whose label they adopt. A lawmaker should try to secure the party’s majority. That’s the only way its agenda can be implemented. If Republicans win by claiming to be the party of “limited government,” each of them ought to work to keep big government Democrats out of the majority.
