While watching Salty's ReeeeeEee stream a few minutes ago, I heard his saying something that sparked in my brain. When the House and Senate get turned back to their proper and legit winners, will they choose Trump as their speaker? Salty asked if it's even possible to have someone not elected be chosen and I did a quick search and found the above link. Is Lin Wood beating the FL audit drum so hard to stir something up like this? Something with Gaetz? He's not seeking reelection, eh? I know this is a timely process.
I am just kicking this around in my empty head. (I'm Joe Biden and I approve of this message.)
This is a sound theory but Trump won fair and square, I don't think he'd want to sneak in on a technicality.
He's got two options:
take over Biden's term two years in, that will allow him to serve 10 years as president as per the 22nd amendment
take over Biden's term sooner than that and use his huge popularity to change, or exempt, himself from the 22nd
There is a lot to it but those are the two scenarios I believe to be feasible.
I agree. He won fairly but has been jilted...we all have. He most deservedly should be give his rightful position. I know a lot of theories and ideas are being postulated. We will have to wait it out and see what the white hats have in store.
The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been. The speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the vice president and ahead of the president pro tempore of the Senate.
It is valid but doubt he would want it
Speaker of the House is next in line after POTUS and VP. If Trump were speaker, and Biden/Kamala go down for treason, then 45 would be 47.
It is indeed possible ?
Omg (reading my husband's feed) and I have to add if that is so, Biden and Kamala would be called illegitimate (with congressional and the Senate's help) and as speaker of the house be could be President again!
I should clarify *Speaker of the House...
