Though it has never happened, a Speaker need not be a member of the House.

Apparently, it's becoming `common knowledge', that the Speaker does NOT have to be a "member of the House".

~ So `everyone' is saying... ~

As The Great One Mark Levin tells us, the Constitution does not demand that the Speaker of the House be an active, elected member. The Constitution only states that he, she be chosen by the elected ones. That.s why we should chose Cheney!

It does not matter if the new Speaker is an elected Congressman or not. Allen West or Newt Gingrich could be the new Speaker replacing Bonehead Boehner.

I don’t think you have to be a member! Newt name was just introduced the other day!
