Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

There is no legal prohibition on a non-member of the House serving as Speaker.

You vote for a named individual who isn’t a House member the exact same way you vote for one who is.

If you read Webster’s statements, you would see that he is pro-law before deciding what to do about the illegals already here, that might have to include a path to citizenship... which could be going home and applying for all we know.
Thank you for that information.

Pardon my stupidity,how do you vote for someone for Speaker who isn’t even a member of Congress?

Because any adult American citizen is eligible to serve as Speaker of the House.

I could be mistaken, but I believe in theory the Speaker of the House can be any US Citizen. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a member of the House.

“Love: Boehner”

Ugh, it had been said, but I will say it again. The American people did not send these people to DC to work with these disgusting elitist politicians and to work with Obama. They were sent there to stop this crap!!!!

It’s disgusting to see how many Republicans the GOP-e has wrapped around its little finger.

**********
People greatly underestimate the cunning depravity of the GOP-e. It is a juggernaut against the first sign of any internal resistance and will undermine same by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. It is a ruthless force, but no so much when it comes to Democrats.

2 presents would drop it to 200

So 34 members (435-399-2=34) did not show up for the vote?

Then why has no one nominated LAZ?
