Vacancy

The Office of Speaker may be declared vacant by resolution, which

may be offered as a matter of privilege. Manual ยง 315; 6 Cannon ยง 35.

Under rule I clause 8(b)(3), adopted in the 108th Congress, the Speaker is

required to deliver to the Clerk a list of Members in the order in which each

shall act as Speaker pro tempore in the case of a vacancy in the Office of

Speaker. The Member acting as Speaker pro tempore under this provision

may exercise such authorities of the Office of Speaker as may be necessary

and appropriate pending the election of a Speaker or Speaker pro tempore.

A vacancy in the Office may exist by reason of the physical inability of

the Speaker to discharge the duties of the Office.

 

Does that member have to be a part of the current house?
