The entire congress votes for Speaker. The Majority Leader and Whip are party only votes.
Oh. Sorry. Guess I need to read up on some of my politics stuff. Please accept my apology.
The entire congress has a serious responsibility in selecting the Speaker, because that person becomes third in line for the office of President of the United States. It would certainly be worthwhile for Republicans to make at least some effort to aid in electing someone more appropriate than Pelosi.
