Vem är talare för vita huset?
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
I mellanårsvalet 2006 fick demokraterna majoritet i representanthuset. Nancy Pelosi blev talman när den 110:e kongressen sammanträdde den 4 januari 2007, vilket gjorde henne till den första kvinnan att inneha detta ämbete. I och med valet av Barack Obama till president och demokratiska vinster i kongressens båda kamrar blev Pelosi den första talmannen sedan Tom Foley som innehade ämbetet under en demokratisk enpartis ledning i Washington. Under den 111:e kongressen var Pelosi den drivande kraften bakom flera av Obamas stora initiativ som visade sig vara kontroversiella, och republikanerna kampanjade mot demokraternas lagstiftning genom att iscensätta en "Fire Pelosi"-bussturné och återtog kontrollen över representanthuset i mellanårsvalet 2010. Husets minoritetsledare John Boehner valdes till talman.

In the 2006 midterm elections, the Democrats won a majority in the House. Nancy Pelosi became Speaker when the 110th Congress convened on January 4, 2007, making her the first female to hold the office. With the election of Barack Obama as President and Democratic gains in both houses of Congress, Pelosi became the first Speaker since Tom Foley to hold the office during single-party Democratic leadership in Washington. During the 111th Congress, Pelosi was the driving force behind several of Obama's major initiatives that proved controversial, and the Republicans campaigned against the Democrats' legislation by staging a "Fire Pelosi" bus tour and regained control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections. House Minority Leader John Boehner was elected as Speaker.
