John Berkow has abused his role as Speaker of the House and should stand down
Berkow should be fired/resign after abusing his role by giving his opinion on Trump's UK visit. The Speaker of the House is an important role of neutrality. Feedom to speak opinions are for elected MPs of front/back benches, NOT the Speaker who's job is to facilitate debates without personal bias.
