Interesting…. A few days ago, Steve Scalise Introduced Mike Johnson as the 45th Speaker of the House..
But Mike Johnson is the 56th House speaker, elected to the 118th congress..
45th does not sound like 56th.
1876 was the 44th house speaker..
Did Steve make a mistake? Or something else?

1876 was the 44th Congress but the Speaker at the time was only the 28th. The actual 44th Speaker was John McCormack in the 60s and 70s.
I love the idea of a hint at restoring the Republic and I think a lot of other hints do point toward that happening or having already happened. However on this particular quote the dates don't add up. Seems more likely just a simple 45 to signal to us that he is Trump's approved pick.
