You are absolutely right! Col. West would be perfect.

Maybe we should start emailing our congress critters? One of the many reasons I love this idea, aside from Congressman COL Ret. West is if he is the speaker and is unelected, he has no reason to worry about his next election.

Just random thoughts on a Friday evening after a few glasses of a very nice red while sitting by the fire with my sleeping pups close by.....

God is good!

Of course, Allen West did lose his seat in November, so he won't be returning to Congress, at least not yet!

Didn't someone state that according to the rules, one need not be an elected member of Congress to serve as Speaker of the House?

Or maybe I'm just dreaming as that person is third in line to the Presidency and one would assume that the person be an elected official.
