How is speaker of the house elected?
The Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the House of Representatives. Before the vote each party chooses their candidate. The majority party's candidate will then win the election (assuming his or her party's representatives vote according to the party's decision).
Is Kentucky a red state or blue state?
It depends on who the majority typically vote for, democrat (blue) or Republican (Red). The answer is always based on speculation and is always up for grabs in any election. If you look at recent times such as the 2004 presidential election where the majority voted for Bush I'd have to answer red. However just to keep the pundits on their toes they have a Democratic Governor and Lieutenant Governor and a third of the US Representatives are Democrats. In the Kentucky General Assembly the Democrats control the House of Representatives and Republicans control the Senate.
When A Presidential Election Goes To The House Of Representatives Each State Gets A Number Of Votes Equal To The Number Of Members From That State. True or false?
False. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
