Nonsense.
Why do you hate the Constitution?
The Speaker of the House, unlike committees, committee chairpersons, "leaders", etc. is a position which is enumerated in the Constitution. Article I of the Constitution gives the authority to choose the Speaker of the House to the elected members of the House.
Committees are created by rules within the House and have no Constitutional authority, nor is their any Constitutional restriction against them. Same with committee chairs, majority leaders, minority leaders, whips, etc. Those are powers granted to the Article I Legislative Branch by the Constitution.
Our Government is established as a Representative Republic NOT as a Democracy. You DON'T get to vote on everything just because you want to. And that's a GOOD thing!
You and I get to choose our Representatives. If we don't like what they do, we have the opportunity to limit their terms every two years. It's called an "election".
Oh wait...now you will tell me "electiosn don't matter"...after suggesting that we have MORE elections for MORE government positions.
The problem IS that most Americans have no clue WHO their representatives even are, what their voting record is, or what their positions on issues are. Asking them to VOTE for more positions in Congress is ABSURD!!!!!!!
There really should be a requirement for knowledge of a topic before posting a comment.
