WASHINGTON Some House Republicans are saying they would like former President Donald Trump to become the next speaker of the House.

The problem? Republicans own rules forbid someone under criminal indictment for a felony from serving in party leadership.

Nevertheless, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Troy Nehls (R-Texas) and Greg Steube (R-Fla.) have stated that they want Trump to be speaker and the former president is reportedly considering a visit to the Capitol next week, ahead of an election for the Houses top job.

The chamber has been leaderless since Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) triggered a no-confidence vote that ended the speakership of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) after just nine months. So far, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Steve Scalise (R-La.) have announced bids to succeed McCarthy.

Another problem for Trump is that a lot of moderate Republicans probably wouldnt vote for him. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), for instance, was outright disgusted by a question about a possible Speaker Trump.

Is that your biggest concern right now? Really? Lawler said Wednesday. Is that really your biggest concern?
