The US Constitution does not require the Speaker of the House to be a House member. With the House almost evenly split politically, these troubled and acrimonious times require the strong and steady hand of a universally-admired and confidence-building leader. #InTrussWeTrust

A few years ago I did one of those test things given to people wanting US citizenship, just to see how I would do.

in that the line of succession ( not quite the right word there ) for president is - President, if the president dies Vice President, then if the vice president dies, the speaker takes over.

What are the implications of this vote. ?
