A new bill introduced on Monday by Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) would allow only an elected House member to serve as Speaker after former President Trump called the suggestion that he seek the gavel “so interesting.”
The Constitution does not directly state that the House Speaker must be a member of the chamber, but to date, the role has never been filled by an outsider.
Boyle argued that the statute should be made clear, even if electing someone outside of Congress to serve as Speaker remains a long shot. His bill, titled the Mandating That Being an Elected Member Be an Essential Requirement for Speakership Act, would explicitly limit eligibility to current House lawmakers.
“The Speaker of the U.S. House is second in the United States presidential line of succession. That Donald Trump’s name would even be tossed around as a potential speaker in the people’s house, should serve as an alarm bell that our current requirements need to be amended in the name of protecting our nation and our democracy,” Boyle said in a statement.

Re- Instate T R U M P Now !!!!
Go ahead, make a rule…next group will change it, then the next and next. The lack of CONgress to work for the people has caused the last 4 Presidents to operate via executive orders. Enough.
FIRE congress men & women JUST like ANY other JOB !!!!! IMMEDIATELY
It’s kinda cool to watch the worms squirm. President Donald Trump has all the swamp creatures writhing in terror. They are petrified of the truth of their wickedness being exposed. The real President is an imminent threat to their very existence as traitors, criminals, queer child molesters and general all around reprobates of the swamp and they are going off the rails to stop him. It’s gonna get better too. When the fecal matter really makes violent contact with the mechanized air circulation device, the ones that don’t commit arkancide are gonna be cutting deals and squealing on each other like the backstabbing pigs that they are. Get some popcorn folks-it oughta be a good show.
