Professor green absolutely, i agree. And what is interesting about that statement, it was made at the time when speakers had a lot fewer responsibilities and duties than today. If anything, it is even more so it is the most difficult job in washington. Susan unlike the senate majority, this position is named in the constitution, without a lot of detail beyond that. I am wondering, when the framers created the position, they were look into the english model, what are they have in mind . Professor green they were thing about a model of the speakership where it was a position that had parliamentary responsibilities.
