Context? They just put another ghoul and thats it?
Also was this the guy that mentioned his wife died just before making an announcement?

Patrick McHenry is speaker pro tempore until someone pushes for an election of speaker
Not sure on second question

Seems inefficient. Couldn't they have simultaneously voted for a replacement?

This is the same House that took 15 ballots to elect McCarthy in the first place; pushing for an election would probably shut it down for a while
