President Pro Tempore
If the Speaker of the House of Representatives dies or retires, the House of Representatives elects one representative to become Speaker. The Speaker is almost always a member of the majority party in the House, but there are no rules requiring this. If the majority party changes, by some representatives losing elections and new people of the other party being elected, a new Speaker will usually be elected.
At any time, if the current Speaker of the House loses the confidence of the members of his party, a new vote may be held. This is very unusual, but it has happened.
The rules for office of Speaker of the House are not specified n the Constitution; the House of Representatives makes its own rules, and can change them at any time.
