As the Constitution does not explicitly state that the speaker must be an incumbent member of the House, it is permissible for representatives to vote for someone who is not a member of the House at the time, and non-members have received a few votes in various speaker elections over the past several years.

You are correct sir....learned something today.
Then it would come down to internal egos amongst the elected critters.
It would be even more political theater.

You’re right there. Ego’s would still be in play if here were a member though.

Oh that would be great to see! Imagine going up against Pelosi’s crowd......and he certainly would put the flame under the GOP butts. Not to mention the Demorats and Republicans would show up for work!

“Oh my! Would you look at the scare words! Hard-right! Scary.”
How often do we see the word “right” without ‘far,’ ‘hard’ or something worse attached?

Trump is good at lots of things. He’d probably make a poor Speaker. That’s a job for different talents.

What happened to Forbes?
Infiltrated, like every other institution in this country. Not infiltrated, bought outright by the Chinese. 95% of it is owned by a Chicom media company: Whale Media Investment

At the very least this is great trolling. Clearly libtards are not the only ones triggered by it. :)

I think Steve Forbes and his siblings sold it a few years back. Editorial stance changed under the new management.

This is a move he should have kept quiet about.
Stupid to broadcast your plans to the enemy

What? “Broadcast your plans?” LOL.
There’s no harm in Gaetz spouting this nonsense because it’s never going to happen.

You mean let them get the jump on us again? That worked out real well for us last November. Hit them with the fear now!

Jordan or Gosar for Speaker.
Gaetz is not good enough.
