I second that
Why not?
Love it!
I would assume he would have to get elected to the House first-—but I really don’t know what the rules are.
I see Mark Levin said “thanks but no” on twitter today.
LOL
LOL...I’m buying duct tape stock...
Libtards, GOPe heads will be exploding...
BTW, excellent idea, Mr Cruz...
“I think the next speaker should be Mark Levin”
GO MARK LEVIN - HOUSE SPEAKER!!!
GET OFF THE PHONE YOU BIG DOPE!
Look....all I want is a months worth of video of Marc telling those lunkheads on the House floor:
“Shut-up you moron!”
There is, IMHO, one outsider who would actually have a chance at winning enough support..Jim DeMint
How about a serious suggestion?
“What do you think, Mr. Producer.....?”
I’m opposed to anything that would interfere with Mark’s daily radio show.
It’s bad enough when he takes off for a day or so and a guest host must fill in.
How the process works:
The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two, one from each major party (each party having previously met to decide on its nominee). The Clerk then calls the roll of the Representatives, each Representative indicating the surname of the candidate he or she is supporting. Representatives are not restricted to voting for one of the nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for someone who is not a member of the House at all. They may also abstain by voting "present".
Although no rule exists, based on tradition and practice from the earliest days of the nation, to be elected speaker a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all votes cast for individuals, i.e. excluding those who abstain. If no candidate wins such a majority, then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected. The last time repeated votes were required was in 1923, when the Speaker was elected on the ninth ballot.
The new Speaker is then sworn in by the Dean of the United States House of Representatives, the chamber's longest-serving member.
Now, I think, The tea party types have bolstered the party, but even have trouble getting committee assignments. If the tea party types form a 3rd party, they may take the social conservatives, gun people, and fiscal conservatives with them, but as long as we split in two, we will always be smaller than the dems. It would be better if the Tea Party took over the GOP, but as you can see, there is about 20-30% that might fit in the Tea Party type vote. The libertarian vote wants to jettison the social conservatives to smoke dope and take God off the money. The establishment wants to get their tax cut and spend more money.
If we don't have a core platform that has something for everybody, we may see people split off or stay home. We are in trouble if half the party thinks following the Constitution make you a "wacko bird".
Levin would never do it, but Cruz scores major points for saying it.
If Ted really wanted to make heads explode, he’d suggest Levin for Attorney General or SCOTUS Justice. And Mark just might be tempted by those....
ROFL!!!
That would be perfect. Heads would explode.
MARSHA BLACKBURN for SPEAKER!!
Mark is the best choice.
