I think that many of you will have to stop and think about the following before you immediately disregard it. However, as I did read it on two separate sites, maybe it does have some legs.
To me, the background is that Gavin Newsom, our esteemed Governor of California, just appointed a resident of Maryland to fill Diane Feinstein’s recently vacated U.S. Senate seat. Newsom had vowed that when Feinstein died he was going to appoint a black female to fill her seat, so naturally he chose Laphonza Butler. Does this imply that he could not find a qualified black female that actually was a resident of California? … Just asking!
Of course, the leftists are overjoyed with this choice because Laphonza Butler is also a rabid pro-choice lesbian. For sure, Newsom must think that this appointment will clinch the pro-choice black lesbian female vote for him in the 2024 presidential election. Biden used the same sort of logic when he appointed KJP to be his Press Secretary. As best I can tell, all KJP has accomplished is to make a superstar of Fox’s Peter Doocy!
But I have strayed off topic!
The amazing thing that I have read on two separate sites is that there is some serious talk about nominating Donald Trump to be Speaker of the House. For those who say that Trump is not even an elected member of the house, actually being a House member is not a prerequisite to being named Speaker of the House.
Article I, Section II, Clause 5 states only: “The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers … .” No mention whatsoever that said speaker must be a member.”
If the far left Newsom can arbitrarily choose a resident of Maryland to be the Senator from California, then certainly Donald Trump could be appointed Speaker of the House!
Let the fun begin!
When will it end?
