Side note: Pelosi was rumored to have been arrested at the Canadian border 1/9/21, the day after she allegedly tried to get General Miley to switch nuke codes from Trump to her control. So on Monday 1/11/21 I tuned into the livestream feed from Congress at live.house.gov to see if Pelosi would be there. She was present, but there was a stand-in (Speaker pro tempore) acting as Speaker. So the next morning I turned in again, and the same thing. I did that for three months and Pelosi was NEVER acting as Speaker, not even during the (second) impeachment. Finally after three months I stopped watching.
Combine that with the “Don’t say anything” from the inauguration and it makes you wonder.
EDIT: Corrected the date... I had the wrong year typo'd.
They preside over the Cmte of the Whole, which is how they conduct debates, amendments and daily business. Their main job is to listen to the Parliamentarian.
What's a speaker pro tempore?
Stand-in as Speaker of the House for the day.

Very interesting
Thank you for reporting that. I was not aware of this.
Are you using a European date format? January 2020 is before the lockdowns. Or have I totally lost track of time?
Oh hell, I meant 2021, not 2020.
Temporary Speaker usually appointed by the Speaker when he/she isn't present.
