MTG Confirms Grindr King Suspicions: Under Direct WH Orders

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., suggested House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is "under direct orders from the White House" and doesn't truly lead House Republicans. The comments come after Greene, who is set to resign from the House in January, had a public spat with Trump over the past few months as Trump took issue with the Georgia Republican's push to release documents related to the investigations into deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. Trump had withdrawn his endorsement of Greene and called her a "traitor" over their public feud. "I want you to know that Johnson is not our Speaker. He is not our leader," Greene told The New York Times as part of a lengthy interview.

I came to a similar conclusion months ago.

Spkr Johnson - a leader?

Give me a break.

He seems to know how to do one thing, and only one thing, well ... follow orders.

So, who might be issuing those orders?

Yet the Republican majority in the House has elected him.

Interesting tidbit, the Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House, according to the Constitution.

Can a non-member of Congress be speaker of the House? (2023)
www.cbsnews.com

... As Republicans in the House of Representatives debate who should lead the lower chamber, it's notable that the House speaker -- who is second in line for the presidency -- doesn't have to be a member of Congress.

The House has never been led by a non-member in its 234 years of existence, according to the Congressional Research Service, and experts say a non-member speaker is still unlikely. But it is possible. ...

The Constitution has very few requirements to be House speaker. The person must be nominated by a member of the House, then chosen by a majority of the full membership of the House. For a House with 435 members, that's 218 votes, although there are two vacancies right now.

"The House of Representatives shall chuse their speaker and other officers," the Constitution reads.[1] ...

Wow, yeah, it says "chuse."
