Some Republican lawmakers are already stating that they will be voting for President Donald Trump to become House Speaker following the historic ousting of Kevin McCarthy from the position.
This from msn.com.
However, some of We the People believe Trump is still President within a “Continuity of Government” while Joe-Joe Biden is a mere figurehead presiding over the bankrupt, defunct corporate USA. And if this is the case, an appropriate question would be, ‘Can the President simultaneously be the Speaker?’
On Tuesday night, the House voted 216-210 to support the motion to vacate that had been put forward by Florida rep. Matt Gaetz, with eight Republicans joining 208 Democrats in voting to remove McCarthy.
The decision—the first time in U.S. history that the House has voted to remove its own speaker—now means the members of Congress must vote for the California Republican’s replacement. With no clear GOP candidate in line for the role, further excitement within the party is expected.
In January, McCarthy needed 15 rounds of voting to gbe elected as a number of hard-line and MAGA Republicans, including Gaetz, refused to support him.
McCarthy confirmed that he will not be putting his name forward for the House Speaker position again.
Rep. Patrick McHenry will serve as an interim Speaker until a replacement for McCarthy is chosen, although the North Carolina congressman could still be elected for the position permanently.
At least three GOP House members—Troy Nehls (TX), Greg Steube (FL), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) have already indicated that they will support the President Trump in voting to select a new House Speaker.
Nehls said in a statement:
This week, when the U.S. House of Representatives reconvenes, my first order of business will be to nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. President Trump, the greatest President of my lifetime, has a proven record of putting America First and will make the House great again.
In a post on X, Steube wrote “@realDonaldTrump for Speaker.”
In a lengthy X post praising President Trump, Greene added that:
[Trump is the] only candidate for Speaker
I am currently supporting.
She added:
We can make him Speaker and
then elect him President.
Rep. Andy Ogles (TN) included Trump’s name in a list of potential candidates for House Speaker but did not say whether he would support the former president.
Ohio’s Jim Jordan—seen as a potential replacement for McCarthy—told Fox News‘ Sean Hannity that Trump would be “great” as House Speaker but he did not suggest he would vote for him.
Historically, the House of Representatives has always voted for a member of the lower chamber for the role of House Speaker, but there is nothing in the Constitution that states that the position must be filled by a member of Congress.
In January, Gaetz voted for Trump as House Speaker during one of the rounds of voting.
While theoretically possible, it is unlikely that Trump will receive enough support overall to be elected House Speaker. Trump, who is running for president in 2024, has also previously stated that he is not interested in the position.
Trump said in an interview in March 2022:
No, it’s not something I want to do. I want to look at what’s happening, and then we’re going to be doing something else. No, it’s not something I would be interested in.
It is unclear when the election for House Speaker will begin. This will be the first time in U.S. history such a vote will not be taking place at the start of a new term of Congress.
Both parties will need to state when they are ready to enter into the process of electing a new Speaker. House rules do not indicate a time frame for when a vote needs to take place.
The communists/globalists look set to once again vote for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who ran for Speaker in January against McCarthy, although he would require several Republican votes to be elected.
Final thoughts: When recently asked about the speakership, Trump stated that there are some very capable people ready to step into the job and that his focus is to campaign for the presidency—a position for which he has a hyuge lead.
So, what are the odds Trump will become Speaker? My guess is they are better than the odds a queer moslem Kenyan will become president or an anchor baby will become VP.
