In theory, couldn’t the Republicans take the House and Senate in 22, make Trump speaker, then impeach and remove Biden and Kamala? That seems to be the only way we’d get the White House back “sooner than you think”.

As I understand it, the Speaker doesn’t actually have to win a Congressional Seat to be elected, not that winning a seat would be tough for Trump, in the right district.

It would take two impeachments & two Senate trials with convictions. Why two impeachments & two Senate trials with convictions? Prez & VP are separate offices constitutionally, we have allowed that distinction to blur because we are intellectually lazy regarding the Constitution and b) The party system makes it easy to do !

Yes there's nothing specifically in the Constitution that requires the speaker to be a House member. However its a tradition that hasn't been broken and probably shouldn't be. Just like 9 USSC justices is a tradition that shouldn't be broken!

Establishing fact and historical accuracy is ALWAYS worth pursuing for it’s own sake, irrespective of any other consideration.

If the truth casts doubt on the legitimacy of this criminal, destructive, and tyrannically inclined regime, then so much the better.

But there is a constitutional way that Trump could be reinstated. This method is utterly unlikely and improbable, because it would involve a regard for honor and integrity that the ruthless, unscrupulous and evil DEMONRATS are utterly incapable of. But were it to be coupled with the threat of criminal indictment for crimes against the state due to willful complicity with massive electoral fraud or other such adjudication, then it might have an outside chance. (VERY outside, I admit)

On Oct 10 1973, while facing charges of corruption and tax evasion, Spiro Agnew resigned the vice presidency, and President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford to the position. We all know what happened subsequently when Richard Nixon was facing a bi-partisan impeachment over Watergate. Ford became POTUS.

Similarly, envision Harris being compelled to resign after actual evidence has established beyond any doubt that massive electoral fraud has occurred, along with the already well established constitutional violations involving the Article II elector process and state legislative authority; and reveals that Trump was actually the electoral victor in the election. Biden, under overwhelming pressure to avoid the joint, appoints Trump as VP to avoid prosecution. Biden then resigns, and Trump becomes POTUS legally and constitutionally.

Again, all this relies upon the electoral fraud being established and widely accepted, (which I believe will ultimately occur) and a certain measure of honor and integrity from the least likely possessors of it in the nation, the DEMONRATS. So like others here who engage in wild speculation, I am simply posing food for thought.

But notice, there IS a way for Trump to be reinstated, (if not by August) no matter how unlikely, and it seems to me to be a better solution then one arrived at by force of arms.

No matter what, we must NEVER stop trying to arrive at the truth of this greatest fraud in US history.

I believe the House is at liberty to appoint anyone Speaker, elected or not.

This theory is possible.

Trump intentionally uses vague language when trolling. “Sooner than think” could mean anything but people are tying it the recent Goebbels media lie.

There aren't going to be two impeachments with convictions and Trump isn't going to become speaker. First, you need a two-thirds vote to convict and you won't get that. Secondly, the public isn't that keen on taking time away from everything else for an impeachment. Third, whether or not Trump is popular with congressional Republicans they won't elevate him above one of their own by making him speaker.

It's not true that Trump is only in it for himself (something opponents say over and over again online), but he isn't an "institution" guy, and even if congressional Republicans agreed with him about the issues (which may not be true) they want somebody devoted to the institution and to their own interests and concerns as members of Congress.
