All he would need to do is find a 100% safe district.

But even easier, the house can elect anyone to be speaker. You don't need to be an elected member. If the house goes to the gop, it would be a simple leadership vote to choose the speaker.

Heck, they could elect him speaker for a week, hold an impeachment vote, and he could make a floor speach on national tv and step down when he feels like it. They could do it once a month for 2 years.

Trump might never need to even be in washington.

It's a perversion of democracy, but that is the point here.
