Who picks the speaker of the house
The Speaker is elected on the first day of a new session of
Congress. The election is presided over by the Clerk of the House
of Representatives and each party nominates a candidate. Whoever
receives a simple majority of the votes is elected and, after
election, is sworn in by the Dean of the House, the chamber's
longest-serving member. There is no requirement in the Constitution
that the speaker must also be a current member of the House of
Representatives to serve as speaker; however, every speaker elected
has also been an elected representative. In modern practice, the
Speaker is chosen by the majority party in the House; it is usually
obvious within two to three weeks of a House election who the new
Speaker will be. It is expected that members of the House vote for
their party's candidate. If they do not do so, they usually vote
for someone else in their party or vote "present." Voting for the
other party's candidate is dealt with very severely. For example,
when Democrat Jim Traficant voted for Republican Dennis Hastert in
the 2001 election for Speaker, the Democrats stripped him of his
seniority.
