That's what I find interesting. Can they? The constitution provides in Art I, sec. V, Clause II that each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, meaning each House is not bound by the Rules of the prior House. The Speaker was originally created by rules promulgated from Jefferson's manual of parliamentary procedure, based on the British procedures. Arguable any succeeding House could adopt its Rules that do not include a Speaker. In the event the 25th needed to be implemented, an ad hoc election in the House and Senate would probably take place to elect the officers necessary to execute the Amendment. Nothing else in the constitution requires there to be a standing Speaker or President pro tempore.
