    Just read this section of the Constitution, and work it out for yourself.

    The speaker only has a casting vote.
    Any other deal, or "pairing" is against the intent of this clause.

    40. Questions arising in the House of Representatives shall be determined by a majority of votes other than that of the Speaker. The Speaker shall not vote unless the numbers are equal, and then he shall have a casting vote.
