“The U.S. House of Representatives elected Republican Paul D. Ryan as the chamber’s 62nd speaker, catapulting one of its youngest members to the top job in hopes that a policy-oriented, fiscal conservative could give the party a fresh start after years of strife,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Mr. Ryan built his candidacy on the promise of a more inclusive House, a pledge responding to dissent among the rank and file that the House has been run in a top-down fashion, with members being asked to vote on legislation they had little time to study and little input in developing.”
