Yeah. I wasn’t so sure on if a sitting Senator could be made Speaker. Typical the majority party in the House chooses the Speaker. From what I’ve found out there are no real rules or regulations in place for choosing one, that is to say it’s not an elected position but given the fact that Speaker of The House is third in line of succession seems to be a pretty, I dunno, freewheeling kind of way to go about it.
They are voted on by house membership. So it depends who has the majority of members traditionally. There was talk of bringing Gingrich back even though not a current member. I think it would have caused a hugh fight. Not with the Dems but inside the GOP. Given the Speaker is # 3 in the line of progression, it’s very important. I think it’s interesting to consider how many leftist dumbazzes believe if Trump is impeached Hillary takes over. Not happening. They don’t know it. That might be the straw.
