How is the Speaker of the House determined?

A) The vice president of the United States is also Speaker of the House.
B) The representative with the longest tenure in the House is the Speaker of the House.
C) The elected leader of the majority party in the House is the Speaker.
D) The president selects the Speaker of the House from the majority party in the House.

The Speaker of the House is determined by an election among members of the House, with the elected leader of the majority party becoming the Speaker of the House. Option A is incorrect because the vice president of the United States is not a member of the House of Representatives. Option B is incorrect because the House members vote to elect the Speaker, rather than determining the position based on seniority. Option D is incorrect because the president does not have a role in selecting the Speaker of the House.
