Um.. don't know what all this asssination talk is about, but today is the last day of session for the next two years in the Texas house. So there will be a whole new process for the next speaker.
That is why the speakers have so much power here, session is Jan-May 28th ony once every two years. To boot it is unconstitutional to go over-budet and into debt. Therefore there is a LOT that absolutely must get done and someone needs to be there to keep things progressing.
