@fkamiah17 @msmith1047 It's not only allowed, it's required by the rules.

The Rules of the House say that at this point in the process they are required to be in the process of voting every single moment that they are in session. They are required by the rules to continuously vote.

One way to think about it is that the next task in the queue is to vote for Speaker, so they have to do it unless they want to change the queue, but changing the queue requires a Speaker, sooooo...

They aren't voting over and over again because people want to. They're doing it because that is the required process.
