Do the current House rules require a majority of the whole number, or simply a majority of those voting?

Simply those voting.  The Speakership election at the start of this Congress had rather a lot of absences.  Boehner was actually elected with 216 votes.

Tomorrow could either see everyone in the GOP breathing a huge sigh of relief, or absolute chaos.

Presumably members of the Freedom Caucus- Daniel Webster got nine votes

Paul Ryan right now:
"The committees should retake the lead in drafting all major legislation"
"We need a return to regular order"
