Background
[edit]The United States House of Representatives is constitutionally required to elect a "speaker" to preside over the body.[2] While the Constitution does not say anything beyond that of the office, the officeholder almost immediately began to exercise some measure of control over the chamber beyond presiding over it.[3] Since that time, the majority party has usually nominated a candidate for the speakership, and then used their majority to elect that person.[4] The speaker had the power to determine the membership of the committees of the House and chaired the powerful Rules Committee.[5]
