Senators are not members of the House. ....So what? Paris Hilton could be elected.
RE: Senators are not members of the House. ....So what?
If so, would a real fighter like Ted Cruz going from Senator to Speaker be a demotion?
John John Boener is now saying he may not leave....
Have any video to back that up.
The Constitution may not specifically say the Speaker is one of the members, but only because it wouldn’t have occurred to them they needed to say something so obvious.
But fine, let’s say the Speaker can be anyone. That doesn’t mean it can happen, Constitutionally allowed or not. Nobody is going to vote Paris Hilton the Speaker. Same is true for Cruz.
