Oh well.

Let the R's in disarray begin

Being that the r's are likely to have house majority by maybe 3 votes. If they end up voting for multiple house speakers and the dems focus all of their votes on 1 person, could a dem end up being the speaker?

No.

The House speaker always comes from the party that has the majority.

"but I will still vote for him if he runs again."

No.







The House speaker always comes from the party that has the majority.

But isn't that only because the majority has the most votes and puts all of them behind 1 individual to elect them as speaker? What happens if a person doesn't have enough votes?
Also, If a house speaker doesn't have to be an elected rep, idk why they would have to be a part of the majority party.

Can An Outsider Be Speaker of the House?

Does the speaker have to be a member of the House? The Constitution is silent on that question.

But does the speaker have to be a member of the House?

The Constitution is silent on that question, saying simply, "The House of Representatives shall chuse (sic) their Speaker and other Officers."

The Clerk of the House agrees with the office of the House Historian, which says the speaker "has always been (but is not required to be) a House Member."

Most historians and legal experts who've looked at this issue conclude the founders simply assumed the speaker would be drawn from among elected members.
