The election is presided over by the Clerk of the House of Representatives and each party nominates a candidate. Whoever receives a simple majority of the votes is elected and, after election, is sworn in by the Dean of the House, the chamber's longest-serving member. There is no requirement in the Constitution that the speaker must also be a current member of the House of Representatives to serve as speaker; however, every speaker elected has also been an elected representative. In modern practice, the Speaker is chosen by the majority party in the House; it is usually obvious within two to three weeks of a House election who the new Speaker will be. It is expected that members of the House vote for their party's candidate. If they do not do so, they usually vote for someone else in their party or vote "present." Voting for the other party's candidate is dealt with very severely. For example, when Democrat Jim Traficant voted for Republican Dennis Hastert in the 2001 election for Speaker, the Democrats stripped him of his seniority and refused to appoint him to any congressional committee.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives The Speaker is elected on the first day of a new session of Congress.

Shes not a Republican so how can you possibly be happy with what shes doing, and Republicans are no longer in the majority, so no Republican is going to be Speaker. That's what life is like in the back of the bus. That's what it was like for Dems when the Reps were in charge.<br><b>References : </b><br> Shes doing well, as evinced by the discomfort shes putting Republicans through.
