The House SHOULD elect Cruz as Speaker.

Senator Cruz?

I stand corrected, but I think the House can pick whom ever they want to be speaker. The constitution states,

"The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."

It is silent about whether the speaker has to be a member of the house.
