    All serious…what is the likelihood someone puts up trump for speaker and basically sets up a loyalty test? Remember…no one in the GOP house wants the title

    Since the constitution doesn’t specify the speaker needs to be a house member or any member of government, Technically he could be nominated and this is a way for him to be an unelected member in the federal government only 3 positions away from the presidency. In this position, all he would need to do is get Biden and Harris removed through impeachment or (knowing him) any means necessary and he’s unelected president.

    EDIT: yep two members of the house have publicly said they want trump for speaker. So what’s the likelihood that this will happen?
