Marjorie Taylor Greene Backs Trump For House Speaker: ‘Only Candidate for Speaker I am Currently Supporting’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed former President Donald Trump for speaker of the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think you have to be a member of the house to be its speaker.
The Constitution does not explicitly require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been.

Nope, literally anybody could be nominated.
That would seem reasonable, but it's not the case.
Article 1, Section 2 only says:
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
chuse
When your country's Constitution no longer has modern spelling, it's time to revise it.
We could probably just update that word
If we can actually get the votes to modify it in any way, we need to do a lot more than that!
