Multiple Choice
Which statement accurately describes how the Speaker of the House gains the position?
The United States' voting population elects the Speaker, so the Speaker is usually from the party with the most public support.
The House of Representatives elects the Speaker, so the Speaker is usually from the party with a majority in the House.
The president appoints the Speaker, so the Speaker is usually from the same party as the president.
The minority party in the House of Representatives selects the Speaker; this rule keeps a balance of power between the parties.
