The Speaker of the House is elected by the House. Cannon was the House Speaker for the first two years of Taft's administration, but the Democrats won control of the House in 1910 and Cannon lost his job as speaker.

President Taft did not agree to make Joe Cannon as Speaker of the House because he believed that Cannon had amassed too much power and had become too influential. Taft was interested in promoting a more progressive agenda and felt that Cannon's leadership would hinder his efforts to pass legislation and enact reforms. Additionally, there was a growing movement in Congress to challenge Cannon's authority, and Taft likely wanted to align himself with this sentiment.

What US president called the vice presidency an anomalous office?
It was US President Theodore Roosevelt who believed that the office of the vice presidency was simply not worth having. Most constitutional scholars agree but the question then remains how to handle the situation if a president cannot serve out the term. There have been several alternate proposals such as having the Speaker of the House assume the office of the presidency, and currently the Speaker is number three on the list should the vice president be unable to complete the term inherited by the president.

If the speaker of the house and the vice president are from different parties and the sitting president dies could the new president and vice president be Democrat and Republican?
Not likely . If the president dies, the VP would become the president and he would nominate someone to be the new vice president. He would choose someone from his own party and the Congress would not likely reject a nominee just because he was from the same party as the president. If his nominee was rejected he could keep submitting names until he found someone Congress would agree to.
