I agree. At his age, Cruz has a long career ahead of him. Running for president has helped him build name recognition.

“Peremptory” means insisting on immediate attention or obedience, especially in a brusquely imperious way.


Thanks for the refresher I had forgotten that one. However I took a second look at the above definitions and either one fits. Sort of a peremptory preemptory surrender.

I doubt very much the courts would rule in favor of allowing a non-member speaker. It’s a really stupid idea anyway, really stupid.

A sitting Senator as Speaker is patently absurd.

It’s a moot question anyway, the House will never elect one.
