>if the speaker of the house is a person not in the house, would he get paid?
That's a very good question. It seems that the Speaker position does have a salary attached.
Being elected speaker requires a simple majority of votes. In the case that no candidate has a simple majority, they would not be elected as speaker, in which case perhaps the existing speaker would remain in place or the vote would be repeated until someone came out ahead (likely with backroom deals and compromises taking place to change votes)
Let what fire you have remaining burn to shine a light on the younger generation. Many of them are growing up bereft of a good example to follow. Take an apprentice and teach him to do something that a man needs to know how to do. Do this even one time and your life will never, ever be wasted.
Pic, uh, unrelated!
I take that back. It seems that when a new congress is seated, the clerk of the previous congress presides until a new Speaker is chosen.
>The Speaker is in the House, there is no 50 50
He's saying what happens if both candidates for Speaker get 50% of the vote. Assuming every seat is filled, there are 435 representatives, but this is not typically the case. It's very common to have an even number of votes in the house, in which case we COULD see two candidates for speaker each get 50% of the vote
>And there is no tie, since there is an odd number of reps
Sometimes there are unfilled seats or members that don't vote.
He should wear the Q+ outfit on the podium!
And use DePape's hammer as the Speaker's gavel!
>there is an odd number of house reps, 435….there can not be a tie
Think harder my friend. There are almost always 1 or more vacant seats, members that don't show up to vote, or choose to abstain by voting "present."
