does it even talk about having a speaker of the house? or did the House make their own rules setting up a speaker of the house position?You do understand that the Speaker of the House is an elected representative, right? Trump never ran for the House of Representatives.
This is a political site, btw. You might want to learn how politics work.
That isn't exactly true. The Constitution doesn't specify that the Speaker needs to be elected and/or from the House; however, throughout our history, the Speaker has always been a member of the House. It's a pipe-dream and nothing more.
It does: Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution.
