Members elect the Speaker by roll call vote. A Member usually votes for the candidate from his or her own party, but can vote for anyone, whether that person has been nominated or not. At the moment, the Republicans control the House of Representatives, and the Speaker of the House is Republican John Boehner of Ohio. He replaced Democrat Nancy Pelosi at the first session of the 112th Congress, in January 2011.
