House Speaker Does Not Have To Be Legislative Member-December 2021

Speaker of the House Of Representatives does not have to be a member of that legislative house. As long as a American citizen 25 years or older does not hold an office of trust or profit other than that of House member, that individual is eligible.

Former President Trump could conceivably be chosen as House Speaker. If chosen as such, he could ascend to the Presidency without contesting an election at any level if the current President and Vice-President have to vacate office.

The Speaker Of The House Representatives has the power to propose impeachment to that legislative body. It appears that certain House members have expressed interest in choosing Trump as House Speaker and that at least one of them has stated that he has discussed this option with the former President. https://www.facebook.com/ronda.lee.186590/posts/1764850083703944
