Trump backs Pelosi
2. How is the Speaker of the House elected?
Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers."
Although the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a Member of the House, all Speakers have been Members.
When a Congress convenes for the first time, each major party conference or caucus nominates a candidate for Speaker. Members customarily elect the Speaker by roll call vote. A Member usually votes for the candidate from his or her own party conference or caucus but can vote for anyone, whether that person has been nominated or not.
To be elected, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes cast—which may be less than a majority of the full House because of vacancies, absentee Members, or Members who vote "present." If no candidate receives the majority of votes, the roll call is repeated until a majority is reached and the Speaker is elected.

The refrain around Casa del Golve is: "Anyone but Nancy, time for some new blood."
IDRGAF, but if Trumperton is calling for Nancy, it's probably a good idea for the Dems to go another direction.

I just want a blood bath
Nancy led the dems to victory while Paul Ryan was giving hand jobs under the bridge looking for a lobbyist job -
I’d like to see her as speaker and Waters and Schiff by her side constantly. Then spend the next two years on investigations and impeachment proceedings. That’s a winner IMO.

And Trump promised the Senate will match any investigation so we get both houses spending two years investigating shit instead of fucking up more legislationMikeDamone said:I’d like to see her as speaker and Waters and Schiff by her side constantly.
