There is no Constitutional requirement that the SOTHOR be a member of Congress.

Mischief is what we have now...

Gingrich h would be like Jekyll and Hyde, but I’d take him.

Mr Rogers and his sweater, sure, better than Ryan.

You’ve got it. Most people don’t know that you do not have to be a member of Congress to be the speaker.

Just what the Pubbies need — Gingrich who was forced out as Speaker and Santorum who lost his senate seat.

Hopefully, this is a joke, but ...

Santorum is a very weak Republican, do nothing person..

He is a PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN...and a failure at running for POTUS..

HE IS NOT A PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENT AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS..

NO WAY DO WE WANT HIM AS A SPEAKER????

The Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House.

The important thing is that Ryan is getting pressured to stop stabbing us in the back. He might even do it someday.

The important thing is that Ryan is getting pressured to stop stabbing us in the back. Exactly - that is the key point of this article & the other 10 posted about the subject.

Lou Dobbs just said that POTUS & Ryan are having dinner tonight. I hope Trump kicks his ass & tells him to step down.

I would die a happy man to have heard Mark Stein shout “get off the floor you big dummy” in the House!
