    That’s interesting…

    But I don’t think it says anywhere that the speaker of the house has to be an elected member of congress?

      Nope. It can be anyone except someone already appointed in the executive branch. It’s just tradition that the speaker was a representative.

        Imagine Trump having to ‘slum it’ in the lower house though.

          He’d only show up when it mattered and leave a peon to do any actual work. Probably Steven Miller.
