Answer:
The correct answer is D. According to custom, the Speaker of the House belongs to the majority party.
Explanation:
The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is the head and chairman of the House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress. The position of speaker was established in 1789 according to the Constitution.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives takes second place in the list of presidential succession, after the Vice President and before the president pro tempore of the Senate, being, in fact, the third person in the hierarchy of the political system of the United States. At his post, the Speaker performs organizational and administrative-procedural functions, and also directly represents his district, from which he was elected.
As the Speaker is elected by the representatives of the House, this position is always held by a representative of the majority party.
