The US Constitution does not stipulate that the speaker has to be a current member of the House.

    Trump doesn’t qualify either. Their base only cares about the 1st amendment (when it’s their speech) and the 2nd when it comes to owning guns (to hell with the “well regulated” bit). They don’t even know what any other parts of the constitution say.

      It says nothing about being a felon 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Also learn to not shit on the second amendment:

      Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary - Karl Marx

        The 14th disqualifies insurrectionists.

        Not sure how my comment could be taken to be shitting on the 2nd

          Trump was never found guilty of insurrection because the biden admin slow walked the case, and then he won the presidency, ending it for good.
