[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaker Trump or Scalise both have a nice ring to it.[/quote]

[b]Trump is ineligible under the current rules, [/b]which cannot be changed under an interim speaker. Scalise is your hard right dreamboat.[/quote]

The constitution says otherwise.[/quote]

No, current rules stipulate House Leadership may not be under indictment. Trump is under indictment. Read the rules.[/quote]

Not to mention he does not hold any elected office …[/quote]

WHO CAN RUN FOR SPEAKER? Under the U.S. Constitution, the House speaker does not have to be a member of Congress. That is the reason some Republicans have floated the name of former President Donald Trump for the job, even though he is running for president and has said he does not want the job.

And no wonder he does not want the job …

But even if Trump were to be elected to the position with full Republican support in the House, Rule 26 of the GOP Conference states, "A member of the Republican Leadership shall step aside if indicted for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed.
[/quote]

To be fair, he has already been indicted, so the GOP would read this as Trump would be eligible and would have to step aside with any NEW indictments after his appointment.[/quote]

Ha ha sadly plausible …

Do you think he can really restrain himself from not violating the recent gag order?

The New York judge presiding over Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial ordered the former president yesterday not to attack or even comment on court staff after he posted a message with a photo and veiled threats on social media targeting the judge’s law clerk.

How on earth does this thug have so much support? [/quote]

He has already violated it today.[/quote]
