How exactly is the “speaker of the house” chosen, and how soon can we choose a different one?

I agree we need NEW Blood, I think the voting is done internal among the RINOs and we have NO control over that.

The Speaker is elected by the House, which in effect means the majority party. Boehner is not yet Speaker. That will happen when the new Congress convenes in January. Whether he will be a man or mouse remains to be seen.
