There is NOTHING in the House rules that prevents Democrats from crossing the aisle and voting for a Republican speaker.
My bet is that 15 Democrats step forward and vote for RINO McCarthy as Speaker (which he's the Uni-Party choice anyway)... and there's nothing the hold outs can do to prevent that from happening.
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.
Time for Speaker Trump to be announced
Good. No more RINOs,
NO MORE PLAYING FORE THE SAME TEAM BULL SHIT.
