List of Speakers of the House

The speaker of the United States House of Representatives, or simply the Speaker of the House, is the presiding officer of the United States House of Representatives. The position derives its role and responsibilites from the U.S Constitution, and is the de facto leader of the majority party caucus of the House. The role involves many procedural duties, and therefore does not regularly participate in floor debates as a partisan member, instead performing the duties laid out. 
There is no actual constitutional requirement for the sitting speaker to be a member of the House of Representatives, though so far this has always been the case. 
The speaker is second in the United States Presidential Line of Successfion, above the pro tempore of the Senate. 
The current House Speaker is Donald Demo, appointed as the 65th Speaker in 2048, representing the National Progressives Party.

===Eligibility===
There is no explicit requirement in the consitution for the Speaker of the House to be a member of the House, though this has always been the case, and thus so far there are the unofficial requirements that are equal to those of regular members of the House of Representatives. 
===Selection===
The House elects a Speaker at the start of a new Congress (every two years), or when a speaker dies, or when a speaker resigns, or when a speaker is removed from the position. The Speaker must be selected prior to the swearing in of other members, and they are sworn in first, thus the decision to appoint a speaker is done by Representatives-Elect, who are unable to introduce or pass any legislation until a speaker is chosen. 
Each of the two caucuses in the House nominate a single candidate to represent their caucus, and the voting is then done via a roll call vote, with every member of the house who is present, called on to vote for their choice of speaker. To become the speaker, they must obtain the majority of the present and voting Representatives.
