...will be Nancy Pelosi (D-CA 8th), the new Speaker of the House. She is a woman with an ambitious plan for the House's first 100 hours of the 110th Congress.

Pelosi:

If you honor Democratic candidates with your vote today, in the first hundred hours of a Democratic Congress: We will restore civility, integrity, and fiscal responsibility to the House of Representatives. We will start by cleaning up Congress, breaking the link between lobbyists and legislation and commit to pay-as-you-go, no new deficit spending.

We will make our nation safer and we will begin by implementing the recommendations of the independent, bipartisan 9/11 Commission.

We will make our economy fairer, and we will begin by raising the minimum wage. We will not pass a pay raise for Congress until there is an increase in the minimum wage.

Note: According to the Constitution, the Speaker of the House follows the Vice President in the presidential line of succession.
