    It’s always been that way. The speaker is elected by the house, if the house wants to replace him they can whenever they want.

          We have the best quality politicians, am I right? When you’re Speaker they let you go on national TV and stuff your foot right in your mouth. Just open wide, stuff inside. Just like that! And the biased left wing media makes it sound bad by airing it.
