Mr. Speaker, my understanding is the longest recorded vote in the House in the past has been 2 hours and 50 minutes. This motion has been open a similar amount of time. May I ask how long you intend to keep the House suspended with this vote? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will not serve as a historian, but the minimum for this vote is 15 minutes.
