President Trump knows he's Presidential and wants to continue.
Yeah sorry, 2023. I should have put “after”
Yes but it is never gonna happen with the Big Party RINOs in the party.
What is the Speaker’s job and can he do it?
Seems like there’s a lot of ins and outs of fedgov to know. Regardless of the Speaker title, it’s not just talking.
No, the democrat majority would never go for it. The democrats will steal larger majorities in both chambers in ‘22.
The Donald’s ego would never let him run for Congress. He has to be top dog or nothing. IMO.
You don’t have to be a Congress critter to be speaker.
The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been. The speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the vice president and ahead of the president pro tempore of the Senate.
Should not happen—Trump should be re-elected in 2024.
he doesn’t need to run for congress ... anyone can be speaker ...
The idea is it would give him a platform and media access every day.
Even if it’s ceremonial.
It’s not the silliest idea in the world...
Please read this first.

No where in either is a direct public election. The state’s decide how they send their electors and those electors actually vote for POTUS and VPOTUS. That happened in December 2020 as required by these documents on January 6th those official and constitutionally binding votes were certified by Congress and the sitting VPOTUS himself. There is no other result that will ever be valid, the USSC has no authority in this matter the state’s have the plenary power over their electors and they did their duty. Any changes to that set of electors MUST have happened before the December vote and the January certification. The ONLY way to remove a POTUS once they are in office is via impeachment or amendment XV THAT’S IT. Anything else is the internet ramblings of someone who would fail college civics. Even the USSC themselves has said on at least two occasions they have no power over the states electors as those powers are exclusively the plenary power of the 50 sovereign state’s.
“AMENDMENT XII
Passed by Congress December 9, 1803. Ratified June 15, 1804.
Note: A portion of Article II, section 1 of the Constitution was superseded by the 12th amendment.
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; — the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; — The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. —]* The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States. *Superseded by section 3 of the 20th amendment.”
Yes, he can.
No, it won’t happen.
I don’t think Trump wants to do that. But would be great to impeach Biden provided Biden is still in office at that point. But he would get to impeach whomever is in office because they are all criminals.
I know its never been done before it would be amazing.
The only thing is he needs all the GOPers on board and I doubt half would go with it
I think you’ve forgotten that the democrats are in Scorched Earth mode. They will BURN IT DOWN if they dont get their way. So what you propose will be war.
I think Biden has lost a lot of fans, even RINO fans, lately and he’s only making it worse with his bizarre, vindictive, viciously partisan behavior. That’s a way to drive even RINOs into getting some common sense, if only for self preservation.
I think it would be great to get Trump in as Speaker if we control the House.
I can’t get past 2020.. biden was not elected.. Trump won in a landslide... they can’t put someone else in as President.
Its a coup from within ...
And how did we get to such a place....
Why are people so rude in the tags?
I know it’s far fetched but it’s a legitimate possibility.
3/4 of the house would vote for Pelosi first.
