"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what they are hailing as a consensus choice, House Republicans have nominated a college intern named Zach to be the new Speaker of the House.
The freshly minted G.O.P. nominee acknowledged that he was “kind of surprised” to be chosen as Speaker but said that he was “totally stoked about wielding that hammer.”
“I’m, like, whoa—all of a sudden, I’m Thor,” he said. “This is gonna be dope.”
Zach, who is taking a year off from his studies at the Northern University of Southern Florida, is well liked within the G.O.P. conference, insiders said.
“Zach never screws up our coffee orders,” one Republican congressman said. “You couldn’t say the same for Kevin McCarthy.”"

Seems like he's overqualified for Speaker...
We want Santos! We want Santos! We want Santos!
Santos might have a "path" to the job. He hasn't been wasting his time in Washington. It looks like he has been collecting as much dirt as he can find. All he has to do is blackmail enough congress critters.
"George Santos threatens to ruin Republicans who vote to expel him from Congress"
"Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has refused to resign from Congress amid a second round of federal indictments, took to X on Wednesday to attack the handful of Republicans who introduced a resolution to expel him from the House of Representatives — and
warn that he could ruin their careers over it.
"I look very much forward to seeing the anti American attempt by WEAK RINO’s to oust me without giving me my right to Due process," wrote Santos, who soon after being elected was exposed for having lied about almost every aspect of his personal
background from his education to his work history. "Remember if I’m in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it."
"I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen," he continued. "I’m done with the
hypocrisy and the projection coming from the same individuals for the last 10 months! #PolitcalWarfare does not scare me, I find my strength in God and with him in my life all is possible."
