Republicans dropped Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday as their nominee for House speaker, making the decision during a closed-door session after the hard-edged ally of Donald Trump failed badly on a third ballot for the gavel.

    Which is kinda a dumb rule because Schwarzenegger has a lot more loyalty to the people than Trump ever did, despite where both were born.

    It also lead to the whole debate about Obama’s birth, which was just a technical debate rather than relevant at all to how good of a president he could be.
