Somebody started a short-lived thread suggesting that DJTrump could be chosen Speaker of the House in 2022.
While it is true that the Speaker need not be a *member* of the House--though I believe s/he always has been--even if the GOP were to win a House majority in the 2022 elections, that new majority wouldn't be able to choose a new Speaker until 2023.
And of course there are other good reasons why it would never happen.
IF Trump was elected to be Speaker of the House, he would be second in the US presidential line of succession. I think the Dems might have a meltdown if this was to occur, especially with the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office.
