==Constitutional Role==
 
−
The position was created by Article I, Section 2 of the [[Constitution]]. However it is vague on the particularities of the position, as it is on many other positions, leaving it up to the House to flesh it out. Our [[Founding Fathers]] created the position recognizing the need for a leader to run the House.
 
−
==Selection==
 
−
Traditionally the majority party has chosen the Speaker after the biannual Congressional Elections. If the majority party does not have its members vote for their candidate, a minority party member could become Speaker. However this has never occurred in the history of the Union.
