Also, I just learned that literally anyone can be elected Speaker by the House. Making them third in line for POTUS.
Things getting weird on the Hill now.
You never heard about the scenarios of GOP making Trump Speaker of the house?

Don’t even know how that would work. Trump isn’t going to sit through a million hours of procedural votes and committees. He’d be a bull in a China shop.

Naa, it was mostly just fodder for dudes like that to write about. But thefact that ANYONE could become Speaker of the House was trending in Corporate Media for a bit. Just like anyone can become a Supreme, don't even need to be a lawyer.

Jordan said he didn't want it last time.
As long as there's no Speaker, government can't do anything.
If Trump becomes Speaker, impeaching Biden & Kamala makes him president and he can't run for another term.
Why the Hell NOT.
This would be a crossing the Rubicon moment. Pax Americana deserves it.
I believe the Constitution says the president can't run for two full terms. If he takes over as speaker and takes over for Biden/Harris, he can run for president...
