GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz: “No Doubt in My Mind” John Boehner Will be Re-Elected as Speaker of the House Today – Video 1/2/13
Here is video of GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz on with Sean Hannity last night where he said he has no doubt that John Boehner will be re-elected as Speaker of the House today when the 113th Congress convenes. There had been some speculation among conservatives yesterday that a group of Republicans might have the votes to unseat him as Speaker. Does not look like that is the case. It will be interesting to see if anything unusual develops.
The new House sessions begins Thursday @ noon. The Speaker vote should happen soon after.

If 17 R’s vote for someone besides Boehner, it goes to 2nd ballot. Hasn’t happened since 1923. House must keep voting until it picks Speaker

Two Reps to watch today: Outgoing RSC chair Jim Jordan (Ohio), Jeb Hensarling (Texas). Those frustrated by Boehner take many cues from them
