play this game, somebody
Thursday, January 5th, 2023I just saw Matt Gaetz vote for Trump for Speaker. Right at the time I was thinking that, you know, just for shits and giggles, one of the twenty Republican hold outs against McCarthy oughta vote for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Paul Gosar the obvious figure, since so much was made of him siding next to her for a discussion.
Or maybe, out of the McCarthy voters in that “nothing left to lose”, the embattled George Santos.
From what I understand, the non Congress critter as Speaker is a bit like “nothing in the rulebook says a dog can’t play basketball”. The Founders intended the Speaker to be a member of the House, even if they did not spell it out. But, I suppose, in that bouncing ball of recurrent speculation, that it was not spelled out the case is there — Air Bud did get to play multiple sports after all.
