@therootnews: Ever wonder how Congress chooses its Speaker of the House? Following last Tuesday’s midterm elections, Democrats are set to take control of the House after flipping more than three dozen Republican-held seats. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) broke down how lawmakers vote to determine who will lead the chamber.

But a blank slate DOES NOT EXIST so the next best thing is someone that will respond to the WHOLE congress that we just sent there
