Potty trained and plays well with others
As Kevin McCarthy seems to be heading down in flames on round three of the Speaker vote, it’s time America turns to a true independent middle ground, nonpartisan choice. To that end, I am nominating my granddaughter for speaker of the house. Although she is only four, the constitution does not specify an age limit for this job. So anyone can be nominated and selected.
First, she is already potty trained. So even though I know there is no minimum age, I think not being able to take care of your own shit should be disqualifying. Of course, with that being said, that qualification alone might rank her very high against any opposition.
Second, she plays well with others. Again, since she clears this bar, she outdistance almost all other contenders for the speakership.
Finally, since the House will be the romper room of the government for the next two years, the country would be better served by having someone who is more familiar with the true nonpartisan politics of children.
So if the country wants true leadership, I would say accept her nomination and elect my granddaughter speaker. As she always says, “it’s the best day ever.” Man, could we use that optimism right now.
