minus-squareShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Interesting tidbit of information, in Britain the leaders of the Government and Opposition will drag who was ever voted as Speaker to the Speaker’s Chair. It was the Speaker’s job to tell the Monarch what the House of Commons wanted. If the Monarch didn’t like what the Speaker said, no more Speaker. Maybe the US needs to adopt that tradition. Or go the way of the Wicker Man, just burn some random congress member to appease the Speakership God.
