Invalid. "To be included in the ballot, a sitting Member of Parliament must put themselves forward." Even though Senator Ortega accepted the nomination, that is not the law of the land.

Fine, I nominate myself. Do the seconds still count?

"There's no explanation besides my hastiness in wanting to get this process along, but that is no explanation. My apologies."

"The nomination of Boris Johnson is not recognized."

Yes, as the clause does not specify the nominations must occur after the nomination.

Ainin wrote:"Mister Vice-President, a quorum is no longer present."

The Vice President glares at the member and mutters something in Spanish before responding.

"Noted. By the Quorum Act of earlier this year, I hereby initiate a Quorum Call. Are fifteen able Members of Parliament present? If so, please respond with 'Present and able,' and then we can move on."

"This does pause the nomination period for speaker."
