The selection of a House Speaker is an important decision that the House of Representatives must make. Every two years, the membership of the House of Representatives have to select their leader, and with it comes a great deal of responsibility. The speaker acts as the head of the House of Representatives and is second-in-line to the presidency.
With the recent retirement of Paul Ryan, the House of Representatives must now choose a new Speaker. The Speaker is chosen in a few easy steps. First, a majority of the represented states must nominate and approve the candidate. That is usually done by word of mouth, or in writing if anyone in the House wishes to oppose the selection. After the nomination has been made, a majority of the Representatives must cast their vote for the Speaker.
To ensure a fair process, House Representatives nominate eligible candidates from the party that holds a majority of the seats in the House. This ensures a fair representation of both parties. After the party has agreed upon their desired Speaker, the candidate is then elected as the Speaker of the House.
The Speaker of the House makes the rules and regulations by which the house functions. Any legislation passed must be approved by the Speaker and the Speaker is responsible for ensuring that all laws are enforced. This makes the position of the Speaker of the House a very important role.
Given the importance of the position, it is essential that the House Representatives carefully consider all their options when selecting the new Speaker. They must use their votes wisely and weigh the consequences of their decision. After all, the Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives and is the one who holds the power to shape the future of the nation.
