HANNITY: “Sources telling me… that some House Republicans have been in contact with and have started an effort to draft former President Donald Trump to be the next Speaker and I have been told that President Trump might be open to helping the Republican Party.. if needed”

I think all trials would be suspended while he was in office. Not super familiar with the laws reguarding this since it’s not a position elected by the people.

“ Courageous heroes in my book. As a bonus we even have Pelosi thrown out of her congressional suite.”
******************************************

They sure were. Initially I didn’t support the attempt remembering Ralph Waldo Emerson’s saying “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.” I thought too few would REMAIN COURAGEOUS. But enough did and AN EXAMPLE HAS BEEN SET: “Keep your friggin’ promises”!

We all should be very proud of the courageous and principled Matt Gaetz. We owe him!

Yes it is needless to say because he is a Senator, not a Representative.

Ahh…. Sean “Oz will definitely win” Hannity? The guy is a certified moron, IMHO.

Mace during the Speaker vote in January 2023 called Gaetz a fraud & phony who was fund raising off the 15 votes for McCarthy.

Now she’s voting with Gaetz?

“These Republican malcontents don’t make any sense.”

"Sean “Oz will definitely win” Hannity? The guy is a certified moron, IMHO."

I had hopes that Dr. Oz would be elected to the Senate. President Donald Trump endorsed Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania's crowded Republican Senate primary. That helped him win the primary. Hannity's hope that Dr. Oz would win the election was not moronic. All those who had that hope were not morons, either.

Likewise, I am glad that Hannity brings the good news that Pres. Trump is open to the Speaker-ship.

When Hannity is good, he is really good.

If Hannity were not a fraud denier, I’d defend him there. But he’s a two face.

“I’m not sure if any of them are conservative.”

Both Biggs and Crane are solid. Crane is my rep.

So you are in agreement with AOC, The Squad and 202 lefty Dems congressman who voted McCarthy out, 95% of all Dem congressman voted with these 8 . And what is the first priority McHenry does Ukraine? Budget? NO, its kicking Nancy out of an office like some high school kid holding a grude. This is amateur hour. We just played right into the lefty hands and will now lose the House and Presidency because the Dems will play this as the do nothing congress. I campaigned and donated $s for Trump in 2016 and 2020, and will vote for him but will save my $s and time.

I thought the problem with Gaetz was his fondness for teenage tail. Or is that a conservative value?

I see you are not a conservative since you believe in liberal propaganda so easily.

If there was any truth to the story then they wouldn’t have dropped the charges, not against conservative. No way in Hell.

How can one be elected Speaker if one has not been elected to the House of Representatives?

It is simply based on the fact that the Constitution never states the Speaker must be a member of the House.

It also never states that a Supreme Court Justice has to be an attorney.

Because our Constitution does not say the Speaker must be an elected Representative.

The Vice President presides over the Senate without being a Senator.
