Lowest vote for Speaker in modern history.
Probably the lowest percentage ever.

Haven’t found the exact total but it appears to have been some 405 votes total. 216 Boehner,
164 Pelosi and 25 other or present. Thus Boehner only needed 203 votes to win.

The Republicans who voted against Boehner were Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.),
Rod Blum (Iowa), Dave Brat (Va.), Jim Bridenstine, Curt Clawson, Scott DesJarlais
(Tenn.), Jeff Duncan (S.C.), Chris Gibson (N.Y.), Louis Gohmert (Texas), Paul Gosar
(Ariz.), Scott Garrett (N.J.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Tim Huelskamp (Kan.), Steve King
(Iowa), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Mark Meadows (N.C.), Richard Nugent (Fla.), Gary Palmer
(Ala.), Bill Posey (Fla.), Scott Rigel (Va.), Marlin Stutzman (Ind.), Randy Weber
(Texas), Daniel Webster (Fla.) and Ted Yoho (Fla.).

Rep. Brian Babbin (R-Texas) voted present.
