How about Nikki Haley for Speaker?

If the House finds it difficult to choose a speaker, pick a non-polarizing figure such as Ambassador Haley to help end the dysfunction and perhaps repair Congress’s dismal image.

Several members of Congress met recently to discuss a Plan B in the event that traditional means of electing a speaker do not suffice. One recalled that in 1984, GOP members seriously discussed running Ronald Reagan’s then–U.N. ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick against Democrat Tip O’Neill. Kirkpatrick, then still a Democrat, was, like Nikki Haley, wildly popular for her robust defense of U.S. interests on the international stage.

But unlike Kirkpatrick, who, after the U.N., shrank from any role in politics, Haley clearly hopes to have a future in politics.
