What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?

Why this is the answer

The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives. Article I gives the House the power to choose its own Speaker, so the person in the job is elected by the members of the House, not by the public or the President. Because the office changes hands, the official list does not print a name. It sends you to the USCIS test updates page, uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates, which shows the current Speaker. The rule printed on that page is the one to remember: you must answer with the name of the official serving at the time of your naturalization interview. If the House elects a new Speaker between the day you study and the day of your interview, the new name is the correct one. The study guide also points to speaker.gov. The office matters well beyond the House. Under the line of succession, if both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, the Speaker becomes President. That order has not always been the rule. The 2008 study lessons explain that a law passed soon after the founding put the Senate's president pro tempore next after the Vice President, that the Secretary of State later held third place, and that the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 returned the spot to a leader of Congress. It is also one of the 20 asterisk questions, the short list for applicants 65 or older who have been permanent residents for 20 years or more. Naming a former Speaker is the usual error, especially after a change partway through a Congress. Another is confusing the Speaker with the Vice President, who presides over the Senate, not the House. The Speaker runs the House; the Vice President's chamber is the Senate. Look up the name shortly before your interview and say it plainly.
