A recent great example - the 15 ballots it took to get a Speaker. They couldn’t govern themselves…but could govern a nation?

Nine months later that guy was gone.

And they had so many internal squabbles they had to install a Speaker Pro Tempore. Who was so disgusted, 41-days later he announced he would not seek reelection.
