How United State Speaker is Selected

The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on
the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death
or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House
of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two,
one from each major party (each party having previously met to
decide on its nominee).
The Clerk then calls the roll of the
Representatives-elect, each Representative-elect indicating the
surname of the candidate he or she is supporting.
Representatives-elect are not restricted to voting for one of the
nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for
someone who is not a member (or member-elect) of the House at
all. They may also abstain by voting "present". [3]

Note that it is stated that the political parties made the decision of
who to contest ahead of time. And each party only present one
person.

APC is doing the right thing

He walked out because he knew he will lose. Dogara is only being Undemocratic and selfish simple. If it was In the United State, Dogara wont try what he did. That will be the end of him politically.

Go and Watch the movie "House of Cards" you will discover that there are people of influence in United State Politics when it comes to who become speaker in congress or majority leader in Senate.

United State don't have normal senate president. The vice president is auomatically the Senate President.
