A Speaker of the House for Everyone
I agree to consider and support a non-partisan, non-member of Congress to serve as Speaker of the House in the next session of Congress.
Why is this important?
Tired of the partisan gridlock in Washington? Well, it's a litle-known fact that the Speaker of the House does NOT need to actually be a member of Congress. In fact, anyone elected by a majority of the Representives can serve in this position. Given that the Speaker should represent ALL of us and not just the majority, this petition asks that our Congressional Representatives agree to support a non-partisan Speaker from outside the Congress the next time around.
