The Speaker's leadership in the US House was caused and not chosen.

In the early days of 2010, John Boehner was challenged by the Tea Party Republicans by demanding he have no daylight between himself and the new extremist members bought and sold to the Koch Brothers.

They leaned on leadership to the point of breaking. The Hastert Rule was employed as the definitive method of legislation. In that any DAYLIGHT between the Speaker and the House OTHER THAN the Tea Party Republicans was not respected. There are members in the Conservative Caucus of the Congress that do not agree with the Tea Party extremists, yet their words and votes are never noticed until the Democrats vote with them in agreement.

The reason the Speakership was compromised by the Tea Party Republicans was because the Koch Brothers sprinkled their money all over the Republicans so they would be pressured to back the Tea Party Republicans. The corruption is more than clear. 

The ability of Majority Leader McConnell has become obvious within the week. The House Speaker should take notice. Harry Reid is somebody.

The hostage taking  of the country is more than obvious. The Tea Party Republicans have destroyed the legislative process under the US Constitution. How many bills were passed by Congresses with past Presidents? How many legislative bills were passed since 2010? What extremes was the Congress at before the leadership had to allow a bipartisan vote? 

The only difference between past Congresses and the Congresses since 2010 is the fact there is a minority President AND the fact the Kochs have bought Republicans across the board.

Do not confuse Koch Money with Wall Street Money. Koch Money comes from one family. They have no shareholders. The extremism of the Congress however, feeds the purpose of Wall Street cronies such as Citi Bank. That is corruption that should not exist either. The best way to return function to Congress is bipartisan cooperation, it will end the extremism and satisfy the Constitution and end the threat of coup.
