Technically, the Constitution doesn't require the Speaker to be an actual member of Congress. Realistically, I think Johnson will stay because I don't think the 95 hold outs will have enough votes to force another election. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) trump is likely ineligible for that role.

There no way they'll get 2/3's the votes of both the house and the senate to overturn that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago He wouldn't want the job. As President he could isolate, as Speaker he'd have to get off his rear and do stuff. Also, he wouldn't be the Main Man, El Numero Uno, etc etc permalink fedilink source parent
