2. How is the Speaker of the House elected? Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers."

Although the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a Member of the House, all Speakers have been Members.


Gohmert: I want Gingrich as speaker

[Ohioan]

The idea of a Speaker from outside the House would create all sorts of dissension, and to what purpose? Gingrich has regained a certain toughness, but he was basically punched out, at the end, in his last year, before. He completely mismanaged the Clinton impeachment, in my opinion.

But, be that as it may. The idea would further fracture what we still have going for us in the House.
