This completely mystifying quarter-spoonful of Constitutional black tea first came to my attention in a comment section of the National Review. It is also a subject of contemplation at a no less worthy source, HuffPo.
On Friday, the National Review reported that a group of conservative House Republicans, unsure of how to respond to Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) proposal for dealing with the debt limit, decided to consult Cruz, who isn't even in their chamber. Cruz "strongly advised them to oppose it," which they did.
Cruz could possibly do more than simply advise House Republicans; he could lead them.
While every speaker of the House has been a member of that chamber, the U.S. Constitution is actually not explicit that it has to be that way: "The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker and other Officers." ...HuffPo
Love them internets! They leave us all with so much to think about!
