 Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
returned to power as speaker of the House on Thursday
- She is the first person in more than 50 years to return after losing speakership
- She took the gavel in a move that marked a new chapter in President Donald Trump's tenure in Washington as he faces a Democratic Party on a collusion course with his administration
- Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room to congratulate her
- She strode down the aisle of the House in triumph to take the speaker's gavel
- California Democrats serenaded her with 'California Here We Come'
- Her grandkids helped her vote for herself during the vote
- The first day for lawmakers will be long on work and short on glamour
- They will be doing business of the day and voting on legislation
- Lawmakers spent the morning getting their member pins and voting cards
- Several had family members with them
