larry flynt was about to disclose that he had had an affair. the next morning, the speaker designate stunned a packed chamber of the house of representatives. bob livingston, who was presumed to be the next speaker, resigned on the floor. to the president you, sir, may resign your post. [ people murmuring ] and i can only challenge you in such fashion if i am willing to heed my own words. i cannot be the kind of leader that i would like to be under current circumstances. it was just a bizarre moment. it was like a bomb went off in the chamber. nobody expected that. he gave that very brief speech, and he walked right out the door. amid a shocked chamber, the house would press on. on this vote, the yeas are 228. the nays are 206. article i is adopted. the yeas are 221. the nays are 212.
