Excerpt from The Speakers of the HouseThe prestige of his position lay rather in its honor than in its power.In 1909, after an interval of a hundred and twenty years, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is quite the most potent factor in American legislative life. There is some room for saying that he is even more powerful than the President of the United States. To day the Speaker is the absolute arbiter of our national legislation. He can dictate what laws shall be enacted and what bills shall be defeated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
