Boyle | B001296 | boyle.house.gov | boyle | https://boyle.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) introduced the Mandating that being an Elected Member Be an Essential Requirement for Speakership (MEMBERS) Act, to require that only elected Members or Delegates be eligible to serve as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. "The Speaker of the U.S. House is second in the United States presidential line of succession. That Donald Trump's name would even be tossed around as a potential speaker in the people's house, should serve as an alarm bell that our current requirements need to be amended in the name of protecting our nation and our democracy. As such, our laws should mandate that the Speaker be a member of the U.S. House. This legislation would establish that mandate in very clear and direct language, and it would serve as a check against those who would seek to undermine and derogate the authority and responsibilities of the Speaker's office." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |
