Because the speaker stands second-in-line to the presidency behind that of vice president, the officer is expected to be a true statesman. That person must rise above the politics of personal glory
McCarthy installed as Speaker with overtones of 'No Confidence'
January 6, 2023 culminated one battle between a small core of constitutionalists and the entrenched congressional establishment on the anniversary of a million unarmed Americans rallying in D.C., whom corporatist media and political adversaries branded "insurrectionists."
Pressure cooker politics were played out on national television as the "strong six" were inappropriately maligned as "terrorists" by their own party members.
It was a dramatic display of what the representational process is supposed to include – debate and the willingness to stand on one’s principles, which has become a rare occurrence in the Capitol. The legislative process is meant to be exhibited in full view, messy and confrontational at times. Authoritarians negotiating behind closed doors who then force their unvetted, secretive decisions on the body, stripping members of their representational role, is not what the founders intended.
I really applaud Matt Gaetz I believe is his name and this group of really for the people politicians for getting those rules put in the Speakers role again. Thank you for this article I hope Kevin McCarthy is not the RINO they keep saying he is and will do his best for the United States.
