Replacing Speaker Boehner
"... But the biggest reason Boehner must go as Speaker is found in the Constitution.
As Jeff Lord reminded us a month ago, the Speaker of the House does not have to be an elected member of the House.
Anyone can serve as Speaker!!!"

" ... Still Newt Gingrich had a way of dominating the narrative, and getting his message through.
Though even conservatives have failed to notice thatwhile Clinton may have used the presidential bully pulpit to win the PR war over the government shutdowns of the 1990s,
it was Gingrich who won the substance.
Federal discretionary spending actually declined in nominal dollar terms for a year,which never happens in Washington,
and total federal spending declined by one seventh as a percentage of GDP by 2000, a dramatic slash in Big Government on top of the Reagan cut(total federal spending under Reagan dropped by one tenth as a percentage of GDP
despite the defense buildup that won the Cold War without firing a shot).
Gingrich also got the Democrat President to go along with the biggest capital gains tax cut in American history, almost a 30% rate cut,
which led to the biggest run of federal surpluses in history.
Gingrich's House majority was also re-elected for a dozen years, which had not happened since Babe Ruth was playing baseball."
