Former President Donald Trump revealed Wednesday that he has been fielding calls about possibly becoming the next speaker of the House of Representatives, but the legal battles looming over the GOP juggernaut might keep him on the campaign trail rather than Capitol Hill.
While Trump, 77, has already been deemed the preferred speaker choice of at least two House Republicans, a little-known House GOP rule barring those with felony indictments from serving in the role could make him ineligible for the post.
“A member of the Republican Leadership shall step aside if indicted for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years’ imprisonment may be imposed,” the Republican Conference Rules of the 118th Congress state.
