The Speaker doesn’t govern. He herds cats. And he’s barely the speaker, anyway. The GOP has something like a two-seat margin in the House, so any jackass with one or two partners can block any bill.
Unless they throw the rats a bone. Then the 2-3 republicans don’t matter. That is even worse.
He speaks. Bills are the voice. He puts bills on the floor that says what thr people want it to say. The right way to play the role of speaker is yonrefuse putting things up for a vote and only put things up for a vote when they say what the people want. The power comes in the decision of what to bring to the floor. He could grind the country to a halt if he decides the people have nothing to say.
