Republicans Consider Making Elon Musk Speaker of the House
The US Constitution does not stipulate that the speaker has to be a current member of the House.
He is an illegal immigrant.
That may be, but he's not brown and he's rich so it's ok
Wtf is this existence
In 2016 I thought That's it, the US is headed for a civil war 2.0 in the next 10 years. I don't believe that now because no one seems to be doing anything to resist this destruction of democracy by the silicon valley billionaires.
Move fast and break things will be easy for them if nobody even tries to slow them down.
I guessed back when the patriot act was signed after 9/11 that we’d have a fascist dictatorship by 2025. Well….
I really wish my ability to see patterns applied to seeing winning lottery numbers :(
you were too early in your predictions: trump is going to be pushed out in favor of vance and musk is going to vp.
Yeah I think playing it slow is part of the strategy.
You can't just take ownership of a country, you need to make people want to give it to you.
More like a decay into a shadow of itself like the Byzantine empire.
So, the whole not born here thing suddenly doesn’t apply?
Only applies to the presidency. In the case of succession, he'd get skipped. Assuming we still care about the Constitution by then.
Assuming we still care about the Constitution by then.
Considering we elected someone who's constitutionally disqualified, I'm thinking that ship has sailed.
I don’t think that matters for speaker of the house? It does matter for president and vp
What if muskrat becomes Speaker of the House and trump and vance both resign? Is that a legal loophole to get a non-native (naturalized) US citizen into the presidency?
I'm pretty sure they'd go to the next eligible person in line, which is the present pro tempore of the senate
Hmm, there may be a long game going on here. Making Elon the Speaker is total nonsense, of course. But if enough Republicans insist, and we have another protracted Speaker battle, it may go past Jan 6, when the Electoral Votes are counted. Can they even be counted if there is no Speaker to convene the House? If they are not counted, it goes to a contingent election. But can there even be a contingent election in the House if there is no Speaker?
Keep this up long enough, and we end up with President Vance. Boy, will that make Trump upset. All his cases that are "on hold" start up again. And the new President starts his immigration crackdown with one very visible illegal immigrant who broke the rules when he came here....
But is Elon Musk not already President of the United States? POTUS Elon Musk? President Musk? Isn't he? Isn't Trump just the secretary of making long faces?
that's some "woke" agenda there if I had to use the same term they made.
The right didn't create the term "woke". They just changed the meaning to anything they don't like.
Trump found his Beria
