she has 2 years left. shes up for midterm elections in 2014
to vote for Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
Nancy pelosi presides over the sessions and keeps orders. she's also the leader of the majority party and may vote on any issue.
Pelosi was never appointed. She was vote to Congress and voted within her party to be Speaker of the House.
Democrat Nancy Pelosi is a representative, not a senator... As Speaker of the House, she is the most powerful person in Congress. Steny Hoyer is the House Majority Leader, who ranks only below Nancy Pelosi. James Clyburn is the House Majority Whip. On the Republican side, John Boehner is the Minority Leader, and Eric Cantor is the Minority Whip. The leaders are in charge of their party (unless the Speaker is from your party - then the Speaker ranks above the leader). The whips make sure their party votes the way the leadership wants. Representatives who hold committee chairs are also quite powerful. They are in charge of bills that go through their respective committees, before making it to the floor for a full vote.
The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. With this right, women became involved in the political system which has led to women holding offices and today Nancy Pelosi is the first woman Speaker of the House.
As of October 21,2010, polls seem to indicate that Pelosi will be re-elected to a Republican controlled Congress and so will not be speaker. Of course polls are often inaccurate and people can change their minds before they actually vote.
