true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the rules for electing the Speaker of the House

Under Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, the entire House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House. This vote is a roll-call vote of the full chamber membership, meaning both majority and minority party members are eligible to vote.

Evaluate the statement

The statement claims that "Only members of the majority party... gets to vote for the Speaker of the House." Because all members of the House of Representatives (both majority and minority parties) participate in the floor vote to elect the Speaker, this statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
