Fact of the Day: Speakers of the House

House members can technically vote for almost whoever they want to be Speaker of the House in the United States. Which means that a Speaker of the House can be elected without being a member of the House of Representatives. Despite the "loophole", no Speaker of the House so far has be elected this way.

    That's quite a loophole! In the British parliamentary tradition, the Speaker of the House of Commons must be a member of parliament.
