Question: Who would be Speaker of the House if Pelosi lost to Sheehan? |
|
I'm honestly curious. How is succession determined with respect to the Speaker (which is usually the majority leader)?

1. The Speaker of the House is elected by the majority party in Congress |
|
The Speaker of the House would be whoever the party that holds the majority of seats in the House wants to be Speaker.
I don't have a crystal ball so if Pelosi lost her seat, I have no idea who that might be..
