Yeah, no rules that I’m aware of that dictate when the next election for speaker must be held. It would be funny if they just don’t do it, and speaker Pro Tempore just assumes all duties.
I don't think this works because I believe according to House rules, until there's a Speaker (not a pro temp), the only issue the House can take up is the confirmation of a new Speaker.
See Exhibit A: When the House was paralyzed in January when they spent 17 ballots, give or take, to confirm McCarthy.
In that case there was no speaker, now there’s a speaker pro tempore. Current(?) House rules, ch 34 section 2: The Member acting as Speaker pro tempore under this provision may exercise such authorities of the Office of Speaker as may be necessary and appropriate pending the election of a Speaker or Speaker pro tempore.
