The Speaker is the majority political party leader in the House, which on its own is one of the most powerful jobs in Washington. In addition, the Speaker controls the order of all institutional business on the House floor. The Speaker also votes on business as needed as a representative from a Congressional district.

The Speaker also is second in line (after the vice president) to the presidency under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, and the Speaker plays a role in the 25th Amendment’s process of dealing with the event of a presidential disability. (National Constitution Center)
We laughed when TRUMP declared he might be interested in the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE job. One more bit of buffoonery emanating from the Baron of Buffoon, but what is not laughable is the idea that TRUMP’S clone Jim (GYM) Jordon has also announced his intentions to run for HOUSE SPEAKER. It seems the Republican Party has no intention of abiding by the law, zero interest in respecting the US Constitution, and low regard for ever truly doing the work for and of the people of this nation. GYM Jordan, who flaunts, proudly, his love of insurrection, his admiration for authoritarian figures, and his caring emotions for people like Putin, has decided that HE should become the next SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, thus making HIM the second in line for the office of President.
Imagine GYM Jordan having even greater access to TOP SECRETINFORMATION, imagine how he will take a hint from TRUMP’S treasonous playbook of sharing those secrets with the likes of Putin, Kim Jong-un, and the Saudi Royal Family. Imagine the chaos he will, as did his Lord and Master TRUMP, commit during the 2023 and 2024 elections. Imagine how often this nation will have Government Shutdowns. Imagine that even though TRUMP may not be the physical person as SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, but with GYM Jordan in that position, it is hard not to imagine, that INDEED it is TRUMP running the HOUSE.
The full extent of Jordan’s involvement in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, leading up to the deadly attack on Congress, remains unknown.
Jordan, 59, is also dogged by questions about a sexual abuse scandal at Ohio State University, where he was a wrestling coach before he entered politics.
John Boehner, the former speaker, also from Ohio, famously referred to Jordan as a “political terrorist”, only interested in destructive action rather than legislative achievement.
In the last Congress, when Democrats controlled the gavel, Jordan refused to cooperate with the House January 6 committee, despite being served with a subpoena.
His involvement in Trump’s machinations has been widely reported. He is known, for instance, to have spoken with the then president on the morning of the riot.
