Welcome Mr. Speaker

 

There is finally a new Speaker of the House, Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

It took the Republican party 22 days to get the speaker the gavel. What I learned is that there can be no business done during the time of a Speaker vacancy, a lot happened in 22 days and a lot more could have happened. 

Perhaps there should be an amendment that there is someone that can run the House in a vacancy until one is voted in.

Let's talk about it.

Will we see an impeachment every four years if the President is a different party than the majority? This is a slippery slope and Americans should be worried.   Let's talk about it.
