رئيس مجلس النواب الأمريكي Speaker of the House، هو الموظف الذي يترأس مجلس النواب الأمريكي. تأسس المنصب عام 1789 بموجب المادة الأولى، الفقرة الثانية، من الدستور الأمريكي. رئيس المجلس هو زعيم سياسي وبرلماني لمجلس النواب، ويكون رئيس مجلس النواب هو الزعيم الفعلي لحزب الأغلبية بالمجلس، ورئيس اداري مؤسسي للمجلس. كما يؤدي رؤساء المجلس مهام ادارية وإجرائية أخرى مختلفة.

لا يلزم الدستور أن يكون رئيس المجلس عضواً منتخباً في مجلس النواب، على الرغم من معظم رؤساء المجلس كانوا كذلك.[3] رئيس المجلس هو الثاني في خط الخلافة الرئاسي في الولايات المتحدة، بعد نائب الرئيس والرئيس المؤقت لمجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي.[4]

الرئيس الحالي لمجلس النواب هو الجمهوري مايك جونسون من لويزيانا. أًنتخب للمنصب في 25 أكتوبر 2023، وهو الرئيس رقم 56 للمجلس.[5]

اختياره

يُنتخب رئيس مجلس النواب في اليوم الأول من انعقاد كل كونگرس جديد وفي حالة وفاة، استقالة أو إقالة رئيس المجلس الشاغر.[6] يطلب كاتب مجلس النواب مرشحين: ويكون هناك عادة اثنين من المرشحين، واحد من كل حزب رئيسي (يقرر كل حزب مرشحه في اجتماع مسبق). بعدها يدعو الكاتب النواب للاجتماع، ويختار كل نائب اسم المرشح الذي يدعمه. النواب غير مقيدين بالتصويت لواحداً من المرشحين وقد يصوتون لأي شخص، حتى لو لم يكن عضواً في مجلس النواب. ويمكنهم أيضاً الامتناع عن التصويت.[7]

على الرغم من عدم وجود قاعدة، فإنه تبعاً للتقاليد والممارسة المتبعة منذ الأيام المبكرة لتأسيس البلاد، يحصل رئيس المجلس المنتخب على أغلبية مطلقة من جميع الأصوات، عدا الممتنعين عن التصويت. في حال لم يفز المرشح بالأغلبية، تُعقد جلسة تصويت أخرى حتى يتم اختيار الرئيس.[7]



Speaker pro tempore

Under the Rules of the House, the speaker may designate a member to serve as speaker pro tempore, acting as the body's presiding officer in the speaker's absence. In most instances, the speaker pro tempore designation lasts for no more than three legislative days, although in the case of illness of the speaker, the speaker pro tempore may serve for ten legislative days if the appointment is approved by the House.[8]

Patrick McHenry acted as speaker pro tempore in October 2023, following the removal of Kevin McCarthy.

Separately, a speaker pro tempore is designated in the event the office of the speaker is declared vacant. Under the current Rules of the House, at the start of their term, the speaker is required to create a secret ordered list of members to temporarily serve as speaker of the House if the speakership became vacant[9] and to provide the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives this list "as soon as practicable after" the election "and whenever appropriate thereafter."[8][10] The names are only revealed in the event of a vacancy (e.g., by the speaker's death, resignation, incapacitation, or removal from office).[9][11] This "succession list" procedure was created in 2003,[12] following the September 11, 2001 attacks, to promote continuity of government.[11] Rule I, clause 8 of the House Rules states the member whose name appears first on the list "shall act as Speaker pro tempore until the election of a Speaker or a Speaker pro tempore."[12] The speaker pro tempore is not in the line of succession for the presidency.[11]

Following the removal of Kevin McCarthy as speaker in October 2023 on a motion to vacate (the first time in history that a speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives was successfully removed by the House), Patrick McHenry was revealed to be the first name on McCarthy's list and became acting speaker.[12][11] The intent of the rule was for the speaker pro tempore to serve for a short period, until the House elected a new speaker, but the House rules set no specific limit on the length of time that a member may be speaker pro tempore.[12]

The designation of a speaker pro tempore for purposes of succession, and for purposes of serving as the body's presiding officer in the speaker's absence, is separate from the speaker's designation of multiple members as speakers pro tempore for the purpose of allowing them to sign enrolled bills and joint resolutions.[11][13] The House Rules state: "With the approval of the House, the Speaker may appoint a Member to act as Speaker pro tempore only to sign enrolled bills and joint resolutions for a specified period of time."[8] The list of the members with this duty (usually political allies of the speaker, or members from districts close to Washington and thus better able to hold pro forma sessions) is made public.[11]

التاريخ

فردريك مولن‌برگ (1789–1791، 1793–1795)، أول رئيس لمجلس النواب.
هنري كلاي (1813–1814، 1815–1820، 1823– 1825) استخدم نفوذه كرئيس لمجلس النواب لتمرير التدابير الذي كان يفضلها.

The first speaker of the House, Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania, was elected to office on April 1, 1789, the day the House organized itself at the start of the 1st Congress. He served two non-consecutive terms in the speaker's chair, 1789–1791 (1st Congress) and 1793–1795 (3rd Congress).[14]

As the Constitution does not state the duties of the speaker, the speaker's role has largely been shaped by rules and customs that evolved over time. Scholars are divided as to whether early speakers played largely ceremonial and impartial roles or whether they were more active partisan actors.[15]

القرن 19

From early in its existence, the speaker's primary function had been to keep order and enforce rules. The speakership was transformed into a position with power over the legislative process under Henry Clay (1811–1814, 1815–1820, and 1823–1825).[16][17] In contrast to many of his predecessors, Clay participated in several debates and used his influence to procure the passage of measures he supported—for instance, the declaration of the War of 1812, and various laws relating to Clay's "American System" economic plan. Furthermore, when no candidate received an Electoral College majority in the 1824 presidential election, causing the president to be elected by the House, Speaker Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams instead of Andrew Jackson, thereby ensuring Adams' victory. Following Clay's retirement in 1825, the power of the speakership once again began to decline, despite speakership elections becoming increasingly bitter. As the Civil War approached, several sectional factions nominated their own candidates, often making it difficult for any candidate to attain a majority. In 1855 and again in 1859, for example, the contest for speaker lasted for two months before the House achieved a result. Speakers tended to have very short tenures during this period. For example, from 1839 to 1863 there were eleven speakers, only one of whom served for more than one term. James K. Polk is the only speaker of the House who was later elected president of the United States.

القرن 21

Nancy Pelosi (first woman elected as U.S. House Speaker) behind President George W. Bush at the 2007 State of the Union Address

The Republicans came out of the 2000 elections with a further reduced majority but made small gains in 2002 and 2004. The periods of 2001–2002 and 2003–2007 were the first times since 1953–1955 that there was single-party Republican leadership in Washington, interrupted from 2001 to 2003 as Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party to become independent and caucused with Senate Democrats to give them a 51–49 majority.

In the 2006 midterm elections, the Democratic Party regained control of the House of Representatives. Nancy Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House, becoming the first woman to hold the position.

President Bush acknowledged Pelosi as the first woman in that position in the opening of his speech.[18]

John Boehner was elected speaker when the 112th Congress convened on January 5, 2011, and was subsequently re-elected twice, at the start of the 113th and 114th Congresses. On both of those occasions his remaining in office was threatened by the defection of several members from his own party who chose not to vote for him.[19][20] Boehner's tenure as speaker, which ended when he resigned from Congress in October 2015, was marked by multiple battles with the conservatives in his own party related to "Obamacare", appropriations, among other political issues.[21] This intra-party discord continued under Boehner's successor, Paul Ryan.

كڤن مكارثي became the first Speaker to be successfully removed from office in October 2023

When Republican leader John Boehner succeeded Pelosi as speaker in 2011, Pelosi remained the leader of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives and served as House minority leader for eight years before she led her party to victory in the 2018 elections. Following the 2018 midterm elections which saw the election of a Democratic Party majority in the House, Nancy Pelosi was again elected speaker when the 116th Congress convened on January 3, 2019. In addition to being the first woman to hold the office, Pelosi became the first speaker to return to power since Sam Rayburn in the 1950s.[22] Following the 2022 midterm elections which saw the election of a narrow Republican Party majority in the House, Pelosi did not seek a Democratic leadership post in the next Congress. The Democratic Caucus named her "Speaker Emerita".[23][24]

Kevin McCarthy then became the new Speaker of the House on January 7, 2023, after the longest multi-ballot speaker election since 1859.[25][26] McCarthy was eventually removed as speaker on October 3, 2023, after a further split in the Republican caucus, with five House Freedom Caucus members voting against McCarthy, which when combined with lack of support by Democrats, resulted in the ouster of McCarthy.[27] This was the first time in the history of the House of Representatives in which the Speaker of the House was successfully removed.[28] Following a multi-day four-ballot election, Mike Johnson was elected speaker on October 25, 2023.[29][30][31]

الانتخابات الشهيرة

رئيسة مجلس النواب نانسي پلوسي (يمين) ونائب الرئيس ديك تشيني خلف الرئيس جورج دبليو بوش أثناء خطبة ولاية الاتحاد 2007، كانت پلوسي أول امرأة تجلس وراء المنصة عند إلقاء مثل هذه الخطبة. اعترف الرئيس بوش بذلك من خلال بدء خطابه بالكلمات، "هذه الليلة، لدي امتياز كبير وشرف متميز لبلادي - كأول رئيس يبدأ رسالة ولاية الاتحاد بهذه الكلمات: سيدتي الرئيسة".[32]


Multi-ballot elections

In total, there have been 16 elections requiring multiple ballots to elect a speaker, with 13 before the American Civil War, one in 1923, and two in 2023.[33]
