Early in 1995, the Republicans took over Congress. It was the first time the GOP had control of both the House and Senate since the 1950s. Who became Speaker of the House on January 4, 1995?

Answer Newt Gingrich

Who can forget the Clinton White House feuding with the Newt Gingrich House that began in 1995? It almost makes our current political climate seem tame by comparison. Gingrich served as speaker until 1999, when Hastert took over.
