The Speaker doesn't have to be a member of Congress.

“I would third West but first you have to get him elected to Congress”

Actually, I read somewhere that the Speaker does not have to be a member of Congress. Maybe we have a Constitutional Scholar amongst us who can confirm or refute this?

Actually, anyone can be elected Speaker of the House. You don’t have to be a Congressman.
Great that McCarthy dropped his bid. Time for a real Conservative!

No, you don't. The Speaker is not required to be a sitting member of Congress.
