First, House Speaker Boehner announced his resignation, apparently falling on his sword to avoid another government shutdown.
On Thursday, the heir-apparent, Majority Leader McCarthy, withdrew his name from contention after having, among other things, stated on talk-radio that the Benghazi investigation was undertaken to bring down Hillary.
The headline in today's New York Times reads: "Desperate GOP Appeals to (Rep.) Ryan on Speaker's Job."
But, strange as it seems, there is no requirement that the Speaker also be a member.
Make your pitch as to why you should be the next Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, for present purposes, all being deemed eligible, citizenship notwithstanding.
(Thank you for taking racist and misogynistic remarks elsewhere.)
