Resolves if Trump is selected by the House GOP Caucus to be the Speaker of the House.

There is no Constitutional requirement for the Speaker to be a member, and this is specifically the strategy Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon have been advocating very publicly for a long time. Matt Gaetz has promised MAGAland that he will nominate Trump, so how do the GOP members avoid choosing him and have to deal with him turning on them?

From Trump's perspective it would make charging him with a crime much riskier because he could literally hold the government hostage and he would command substantial investigative and supoena powers as Speaker so he can launch his own January 6th Committee without Democrats cooperation. Imagine the first State of the Union!!! I think these things I am saying would make Trump salavate, which is why I am concerned we are headed toward this nightmare on autopilot without thinking it through. In which case, some of us might as well make a fortune in fake money.

NOTE: Big tips for good arguments for YES or NO.
