Happening now (2:33 PM EDT). Representatives are voting on the motion.
EDIT: Tom Cole from OK motioned to table the motion. EDIT 2: (2:40 PM EDT) The motion to table failed, 218 to 208. Gaetz' wing now has 30 minutes to present their case, followed by McCarthy / Cole's wing presenting theirs. Clarification: both sides alternated presenting their case. EDIT 3: (4:02 PM EDT) After much pontificating, the House is voting by roll call on the motion.
EDIT 4: (4:50 PM EDT) "The office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant."
