For the Speaker's election:

If all 435 members vote for candidates, 218 votes are needed for a majority.

If less than all members vote (due to absences or members voting "present"), the majority threshold adjusts to be more than half of the votes cast for candidates.

"if there are 435 members in the House, a majority would be at least 218 votes, assuming all members are voting for a candidate."
