Tell me why Paul Ryan was the 54th? You would think that would make Pelosi the 52nd and 55th... My guess is they number the speakers differently than they number Presidents. If Trump is elected in 2024 he will be the 45th AND the 47th. I guess Pelosi screwed the numbers up when she was elected twice. No idea why they do that differently, but all the crap I took for making a mistake is sad.
Except he is the 56th - not the 55th.
You got any sauce for that?

Yeah, it's the 55th. Not sure why he's posting incorrect information.

On what basis are you claiming this? Sauce?
Good lord. I made a mistake - sorry.

Why they do what they do - beyond the scope of this thread.
