Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key āarchitectā in Congressās efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speakerās gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speakerāafter quickly killing Mike Emmerās nomination the day before.
Nat-cās for short.
And, heās 3rd in line to the presidency.
Fucking fascists. This close to control. What a sad state.
Isnāt he second in line after VP?
I think weāre saying the same thing, but just assigning numbers and using language with slight variations.
I agree that weāre trying to say the same thing but the other person who commented is trying to make it an indexing problem so I apologize:
When youāre the president, you are the president. You are not in the line of succession. You are not 0th or 1st in line to be president because you arenāt in the queue.
When you are riding a rollercoaster, you arenāt first in line to ride the rollercoaster. Youāre not in line. The person who didnāt make it on the ride is first in line
Depends on if you count the president as 0 or 1
The President isnāt in line to be President. He IS the president. This isnāt an array indexing problem.
When youāre on the roller coaster, you are not first in line to be on the roller coaster. The person who just barely didnāt make it on is first in line.
I did nat-c that comingā¦ yeah, it works.
