    Also, these indictments will likely not be resolved before they have to nominate a new speaker, either because of some rule or to avoid some kind of political fallout. I’m not familiar with such rules, but maybe you are.

    His Georgia case might not go to trial until late next year, so he couldn’t be Speaker all that time (though Fani Willis is likely going to ask the judge to try Trump in the first group).

      Well of course. I don’t take this Trump business too seriously. In this case, they could change the rules, but they won’t do it because at the end of the day they won’t be able to get enough votes for h8m to begin with.
