House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is planning to return to Congress as a rank-and-file member, just like the hundreds of other members not in leadership ...

The following Congress, he served as a regular member, but Cannon [lost his election in 1912](https://history.house.gov/People/Listing/C/CANNON,-Joseph-Gurney-(C000121)/). In March of 1910, the House of Representatives debated how to limit Cannon’s power during a Hastert was reelected in 2006, but Republicans lost the majority — he chose not to run for a leadership position in the new minority. Typically, the career trajectory for a speaker is that they don’t run for reelection, like Paul Ryan, who served as speaker during the 114th and 115th congresses. “This I will continue to do as a member of the House.” And historically, there’s not a road map for a speaker to remain in Congress after giving up their leadership role.

By Paul Brandus. American culture devalues age and the wisdom and experience it conveys. Most journalists who write about outgoing House Speaker Nancy ...

And the rest of us should be grateful that they remain eager to contribute. A report by Gallup found that millennials are the "least engaged generation in the workplace," and three times more likely to switch jobs than non-millennials. But the broader question as it relates to age is this: How old is too old to work? There's something to these generalities, but the problem, as I've mentioned, is that there are 10 million job openings in this country. These are attributes that--while hard to quantify as one can a salary--can add value to any enterprise. Too bad this isn't often the case, and the fact that it's not is because many employers are penny-wise but pound-foolish. How old is too old to serve? Those younger workers are likely to bolt. I'm probably painting with a broad brush here, but what I think this stuff really means is that companies are just looking for plug-and-play employees; they don't want to invest in workers or train them. American culture tends to place youth and beauty on a pedestal, while devaluing age and the wisdom and experience it conveys. This column is about a senior citizen who gets up each day and tackles one of the toughest jobs around. The argument that some politicians are too old to serve is a legitimate one.

Alexandra Pelosi filmed her mom in private for decades — the result is a new HBO documentary.

And I think I'm really going to start to listen to them." I'm not trying to undermine the entire career of Nancy Pelosi by saying I don't know what those things are, I'm saying, as the youngest of five and as the one who had to sit in the ER with my father, I don't really believe in public service. I would say to anyone on any side of the aisle, don't ever go to the person's home because I think you lose them when you show up on their doorstep. They go in front of a judge and they say, "I don't know how this happened to me. I got to hear it in the background while they were on. And you're going to go on the internet and they're going to say, "This is propaganda." That's what I think is interesting coming out of these trials and out of the committee. The Jan, 6 insurrectionists who are in jail call me, and they say, "Oh, I got swept up in the moment." You say in the film that when you asked your mom about what it's like to be the target of the right for years, she literally laughed it off. But you have to understand that I actually have to do this for a living. "They call me and then we have these conversations and they say, 'Oh, I got swept up in the moment,'" Alexandra said. But I'm just trying to make the point that if you think about corporate America, television, industrial, political — think of all the people that work for Nancy Pelosi, and they all have voodoo dolls with my face on it that they're poking every night right now.

She told OSV News that as speaker, Pelosi sought to “associate the Catholic faith with a claimed right to kill human beings in the womb.” Pope Francis changed the catechism in 2018 to make explicit church teaching that the death penalty was morally “inadmissible” — the same year Catholic Gov. She pushed for a repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in 2010, and pushed through 2022’s Respect for Marriage Act, which the U.S. Francis’ prayer to “make me an instrument of your peace,” in comments about her opposition to the war in Iraq. “I think if you hear her talk, in her own reflections about what her accomplishments have been, it’s always about, you know, the social justice side of things,” said Schneck, who served as the national co-chair of Catholics for Biden in 2020. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is Baptist and leads a GOP caucus that enters the House with a razor-thin majority. However, McCarthy lacks the same kind of steely dominance over his party that Pelosi had over House Democrats, and as of the morning of Jan. President Joe Biden and China’s President Xi Jingping not to make the trip. Pelosi, D-Calif., had announced in remarks on the House floor last November, following the Democrats’ loss of the House, that she would not seek a leadership role in the 118th Congress.

She continues to represent her San Francisco district, returning as a rank-and-file member.
