OUR NEXT SPEAKER

by Peter Breschard

The elections are over. In January Democrats will achieve a majority role in both Houses of Congress. The position of Speaker of the House will become inordinately important.

The Dems first job when they assume power is to toss both President Chump and Vice-President Vance to the street.  These two need to be impeached and convicted for their high crimes and misdemeanors. They have committed and/or ordered, and/or aided and abetted, both war crimes and crimes against humanity. These obscene actions include ordering the execution of helpless sailors on the high seas, executing United States citizens on our city streets, and imprisoning countless non-citizens and citizens alike with zero regard to due process. There is no reason to believe this criminality will cease as long as Vance and Chump hold positions of power. It is the duty of those sitting in the House and Senate to halt this crime spree immediately. It is their responsibility to the citizens they represent and to all humanity to prevent further murders.

Removing these two beasts from their positions of power will not be an easy task. Certainly it can be assumed that Hakeem Jeffries is a good man but it is my opinion that very few Americans would consider him Presidential material. At best his public persona is not inspiring. Jeffries remains relatively unknown to the American people and his presence will not provide the image of strong leadership needed at this moment. 

In order to achieve convictions in the Senate for our criminal President and Vice, there will need to be a groundswell of public opinion in favor of 86ing them from office. In order to achieve such an overwhelming amount of support, the American people will demand someone to replace Chump who can lead this nation to safe harbor over the time remaining in the President’s term of office. The Speaker, by law, becomes President after Chump and Vance descend their escalator to infamy. This person must be the best, the most suited, the most experienced leader this country has to offer. Hakeem Jeffries is not the best candidate for the job.

The Speaker of the lower House need not be a member of the House. Any U.S. citizen may be elected Speaker. Check the rule book.

No President can serve more than ten years in office. There will be less then two years left in Chump’s term when he is convicted and can no longer command the United States’ armed forces.

Since there will be a Presidential election in 2028 (already there are many contenders for that gig), in order to achieve a nation wide actively inspired consensus, it would be best if the new Speaker were not someone eligible to compete in that race. Campaigning as an incumbent POTUS is far too much of an advantage over others seeking the Democratic nomination. 

Since the replacement President will have less than two years in office, it would be best if the new Speaker were familiar with the job. This is not the time for a President who needs take months adapting to new surroundings and responsibilities. We need someone who already knows where the restrooms are located and doesn’t need a tour of the office space.

Barack Obama is not my favorite politician and I disagree with him on many of his positions, but he is the person who should be elected the new Speaker of the House. I don’t care if he wants to or not. His ego shouldn’t be damaged in the least. It’s time to draft a politician for a change. 

Obama will be able to hit the ground, if not running, at least speed walking. No other Democrat is capable of doing that. You might support someone else for ideological or practical reasons but no matter how fine those people might be, they do not have the resume. They do not have the job experience. We cannot waste time waiting for someone to become familiar with their new job. We are in a state of national emergency. 

This really does make sense.

Barack Obama for Speaker of the House.
