That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed?
That we ALLOW the government to function in protection of OUR GOD-GIVEN rights. Their just powers are to protect us from invasion (which they are not doing along our southern border) and to ensure our Life, Liberty,and the Pursuit of Happiness. When Nanny Pelosi came out with her big gavel in regards to ObummerKare, that was a slap in the face of this phrase. The only thing that we allow them to do is what WE ourselves have the right to do and that is, the protection of our rights under the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. No more, no less. That is why Americans are angry over ObummerKare, Cap and Tax, Obama's rule by Czar and executive orders, etc. It means we the people are ultimately responsible for our government and they can only do what we allow them get away with. But the politician effectively divide the electorate using lies/propaganda for their own selfish interest and to maintain the "Two Party System." Most people are ignorant, apathetic and selfish they may or may not vote. Like it or not this is the people's government.

There was no such person. The White House is the official residence and work place of the US President and, therefore does not have a "Speaker." Gerrymandering is the corrupt practice of re-drawing boundaries of electoral districts to attempt to gain an advantage.

The Governor at the time was Eldridge Gerry and a Boston newspaper likened the shape of one of the re-drawn districts to a salamander; Gerry + salamander > Gerrymander.
