In a bold statement, Nehls proclaimed, “President Trump, the greatest president of my lifetime, has a proven record of putting America first and will make the House great again.”
Is it Legally Possible?
The role of the House Speaker does not mandate membership in Congress, although history shows that no speaker has ever taken this position without holding a congressional seat.
Not the First Time – But Likely the Last

Speculation Abound

Trump Open to Help?
Hannity suggested that Trump “might be open to helping the Republican party, at least in the short term, if necessary” while pursuing a presidential bid.
Concerns Raised

Other commentators are unwilling to believe this bid is even a possibility. The founder of Punchbowl News, Jake Sherman, wrote: “This will not happen. We can all move on from this.”
Chaos Continues
Amid this political whirlwind, the question lingers: Could Donald Trump’s return to the House as speaker reshape the landscape of American politics, or is this a bold move unlikely to come to fruition?
