What If There's No Speaker Of The House On J6 2025?

[OKTexas]

Can there even be a vote to certify the election? I don't know. Probably not. I don't like Johnson a whole lot but he's a political animal, which is what the Speaker position is all about.

Think about it.........

Acting President Grassley?

Hopefully, we all learned about that in school (unless you were one of the unfortunate young people subjected to Common Core). Fortunately, the U.S. line of succession has never gone past the level of vice president. If all goes according to schedule, the House will elect a speaker on Jan. 3, the election will be certified on Jan. 6, and Donald Trump and JD Vance will be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025.

But what if things don't go according to plan, and the House is caught up in a protracted battle to elect a new speaker? We could be staring down the possibility (albeit a remote one) of Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley becoming the acting president of the United States.

If you're wondering why President-elect Trump came out with a ringing endorsement of Mike Johnson today, this could very well be the reason.

I don't see how this would effect J6 in any way, am I missing something?

I want whomever will own the Libs the most.

Gaetz?

You don't want someone who would be best to pass meaningful legislation for the benefit of the US public?

Yes, the Electoral College votes can still be validated even if the House does not have a speaker. While the House Speaker plays a role in overseeing the certification process, the absence of a speaker does not paralyze the House2. Procedural options exist to ensure the counting and certifying of Electoral College votes can proceed. For example, the House Clerk can preside over the speaker elections and assist in the certification process1.

It's a complex situation, but the constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College votes can still be fulfilled without a speaker.

Yes, the EC vote can be validated without a Speaker.

So Republicans are worried they can't get their act together and choose a new Speaker? Wow.

Inflation. Illegals. So many benefits for those affected.

I had to laugh a little bit about one of Johnson's detractors saying that Johnson being speaker would lead to losing the House in 2028. First off, Republicans only have the House by one or two representatives and the party in power historically loses members at the midterms. Second, doesn't he think that Republican ineptness in not having a leader after numerous votes weakens the party by making them look like fools?

'Republican ineptness'

When dimocrap scum vote in unison. Virtually always, it's time to worry about totalitarianism.

When the Reichstag voted in unison, when the Duma voted in unison.......etc, etc, etc

Good government is a nasty business. It is often ugly and it is often disjointed, and it is often a lot of squabbling.

THAT is what freedom is all about. dimocrap scum vote in unison virtually every time there is a vote. Non-Thinking, purely partisan totalitarianism is what dimocrap scum stand for. What and Who they are.

I love to see the GOP air its dirty laundry in public. It is what a republican democracy is all about, NOT about being one voice, no dissent, no arguing, no different ideas.

If I wanted to be a mindless drone, I'd be a dimocrap

/—-/ How did that dumb question work out for you? I can’t stop laughing.
