Article 1, Section 2 US Constitution:

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers;and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

 

The constitution does not say anything about requirements for the position of House Speaker. Could be Joe-Blow off the street if they want.

 

Factbox-How Does the U.S. House of Representatives Decide on a Speaker?

The speaker of the House, second in the line of succession for the presidency after the vice president, leads the chamber and sets the legislative agenda and political tone.

 

Normally, the job goes to a lawmaker belonging to the party that controls the chamber with a majority of members, though it is possible for other people to be elected to the post, including an outsider who is not an elected lawmaker.
