Since McCarthy has pulled out of race for Speaker of the House. Do you think Republicans should put a Citizen in as the Speaker?

@Anon - you are incorrect.
The house can elect anyone, even you, to be House Speaker.
There is nothing that says "The House Speaker must be a US Congressman."
"The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected House Representative, though all Speakers have been an elected Member of Congress.[2]"
