There is NO requirement for Speaker to be a sitting member of Congress.

West lost the election, in a redistricted area. Want him to win, put him in a more favorable district. A Conservative running in the West Palm Beach area and loosing? WAFS.

It won’t happen even though the Speaker doesn’t have to be from the elected group. The House hasn’t ever elected someone that wasn’t currently an elected member of the House to that position and isn’t going to start tomorrow. JMO.
