The House has adjourned for the weekend.
Yes you heard that correctly. We are now 10 days without a Speaker of the House. The man the Republicans have selected to be the Speaker is nowhere near getting the 217 votes he needs, there is a government shutdown scheduled in about a month and there is a critical aid package to Israel that can not be approved.
In fact, NOTHING can be approved becuase the House of Representatives is paralyzed.
The Republicans are scheduled to come back to Washington DC on Monday and a full vote of the House could happen as soon as Tuesday of next week.
