The job of Speaker of the House is an exercise in raw execution, an unforgiving arena where a leader either rules the floor or gets crushed by it. To measure legislative competence, one must discard partisan noise and look strictly at the ability to herd a fractious caucus, maintain institutional order, and pass a definitive agenda.
