That reminds me of Nancy Pelosi tearing up the SOTU address that Trump gave with a smirky face.

Maybe I missed hearing about it, but how would it be possible for Trump to be SOTH? He isn't in the House, I thought it had to be the top ranking House member? Kevin McCarthy, if I'm not mistaken, would move up to Speaker. If it were possible somehow, how entertaining it would be to watch the democrats squirm and twist. 
ETA: Maybe I'm just assuming it would be McCarthy, since I believe the rest of the House has to nominate him? Am I right about that? I just pray it happens. But the Dems took the Nevada Senate race with mail in votes from what I understand, so if it comes down to that in the other close races, we already know which way it will go.

The rules state the majority party can nominate anybody they want and being a current or former House member is not required.Maybe I missed hearing about it, but how would it be possible for Trump to be SOTH?

Thank you for that, I did not know that. I'm old, that's the only excuse I have.
So then, if somehow Biden and Harris were miraculously removed, Trump would move up to president. The heads would be exploding not just in the congress, but all over America.

With Republicans in charge of the House, and Democrats the Senate, I see nothing but deadlock ahead, unless a bunch of Rinos vote with the dems. Even if the GOP in the House tries to impeach biden, the Senate won't do their part. I hate politics! I am afraid that within the next 6 weeks that the dems will try to pass some very nasty bills for biden to sign.

If this should ever actually happen, imo, both houses of Congress would morph into Barnum & Bailey.

I never knew this
Here is an excerpt from the below Gov link
Speaker Chosen from Members
Article I, section 2 of the Constitution directs that the House
choose its Speaker and other officers. The Speaker is the only House
officer who traditionally has been chosen from the sitting membership
of the House. Manual Sec. 26. The Constitution does not limit his
selection from among that class, but the practice has been followed
invariably. The Speaker's term of office thus expires at the end of
his term of office as a Member, whereas the other House officers
continue in office ``until their successors are chosen and
qualified.'' Rule II clause 1; 1 Hinds Sec. 187.

This isn't the article I read. The article I read said SOTH. But, then again, who trusts any of the media.

They may not the voting isn't over until the count comes in. We still may not win if the Dem's have their way about it. I don't trust them for a second.

The new House gets sworn in in January I think, and we ain't there yet.
I have not been watching the News or keeping up. I just seen the title of the thread. I did my part and voted but been keeping myself away from the Media which is pretty much all I do these days.
