Presumably the idea is he would serve as speaker until the next term of congress

Don't you need to be an elected member of the House to be Speaker?

Also, good lord imagine that dude every day with a gavel.

Also also, he'd probably turn it down because of the expectation of actually having to be there.

Once he's speaker if they sic enough domestic terrorists after Biden and Harris then statistically speaking eventually they'd be successful.

This is actually something that was discussed back in 2020. Though I believe what they actually said was Biden would be impeached, removed, and imprisoned for "reasons" and they seemed to just forget Harris exists, then Speaker Trump would become POTUS again. Removing Biden isn't likely given no POTUS has been removed through impeachment and he is a rather scandal-free POTUS so far, so the most likely outcome is they'd make it happen through violence.

Speaker is 3rd in line of succession. Make him speaker, remove Biden and Harris, make him president without the whole pesky election business.

He would be speaker running for president. You cant be in the executive and legislative branches simultaneously, but theres nothing preventing any member of either house from running for president after all.

As you know, the Speaker is two heartbeats away from the presidency on any given day.

If Biden is impeached or dies or becomes incapacitated

If Kamala is impeached or dies or becomes incapacitated

The Speaker of the House becomes Commander in Chief.

good luck getting the democrats to go along with that... which will be required in order to remove a president from power... any attempt at forcibly removing a president from office without authority is considered a coup attempt and (High?) treason.

In any other country, all traitors are banished/exiled or imprisoned for life or worse after commiting a coup or treason of that level. Although we are talking about the United States, but I would at the very least expect a military response if the republican party actually tried to phsically force the president out. (Tony is foaming at the mouth right now.)

Huh, normally Saxon is pretty good at remaining just sensible enough to seem convincing - a concern troll at worst. Like TonyKojima but less extreme.

But Biden is up for impeachment and theres a good case for it is certainly a take.

Man, all the dipshits going with that theory on how the GOP were going to elect him speaker and impeach Biden which would then make Donnie president again, because they are dumb fucks and don't understand how order of succession works.

Wasn't there a conspiracy theory back when Trump first lost the election that they could name him speaker of the house or something, then if the GOP had enough power they would just impeach Joe Biden for who cares, impeach Kamala for who cares, and Trump, as speaker of the house, would be the next person in line to be president.

I imagine something like this is still the idea behind Trump as house speaker.
