Newt Gingrich

As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, receives a pension benefit of approximately $120,000 per year from his time in Congress. This figure can vary based on factors such as cost-of-living adjustments and any changes in legislation affecting congressional pensions. For the most current information, it is advisable to check reliable news sources or official government statements.

As of October 2021, Newt Gingrich does not have a criminal record. He served as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999 and has been involved in politics for many years, but there is no public information indicating that he has been convicted of any criminal offenses.

Newt Gingrich has very little support among Republican voters and certainly among Democrats and Independents. He is an intelligent politician, but he the bad habit of saying some of the most outlandish comments against people who he detests! He has also been around for over 3 decades and is old news. What most people remember about him was the government shutdown by him and the Republican-held House in 1995. He was Speaker of the House. In the latest polls, he is getting around 5% from Republican voters. I think he would be a great debater against Obama but he would also be on the defensive for all his extremist positions he has taken over the years! He would also have to convince Iowa and South Carolina primary voters next year, that he shares the same family values as they do, despite being married 3 times! His first wife was battling cancer and during that time he was secretly dating another woman who he eventually married! Iowa and SC Republicans are very Christian and conservative so I doubt he would do well in those states. The man is definitely not fit to serve as President and is such a hypocrite. He led the attack against Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998, at the same time he was cheating on his wife!

No, he was not. For intentionally lying to the Congressional Ethics Committee about the funding of two projects and whether they would violate federal law, Congress gave him the second most severe punishment they could, including a reprimand and a $300,000 fine. But with Congress controlled by Republicans for the first time in 40 years, not a single Republican would vote to expel him even though many of them later said that they felt he should have been expelled. However, he did lose his job as Speaker of the House, and subsequently, under pressure from his colleagues, he resigned from the House in 1999.

Many people will debate on the answer to this question: Is Newt Gingrich a Conservative? The answer is a little hard to define. Although many of his thoughts and actions make it appear that he is a conservative-- for example, his opinions of abortion, illegal immigration, and education-- he might not be. In 2003, Gingrich stumped hard for President George W. Bush's prescription drug bill, which has added about $17 trillion to Medicare's unfunded legal responsibilities. "Every conservative member of Congress should vote for this Medicare bill," Newt urged. If you were to argue with this, I am not stopping you. This is merely just one example. Anyone can pass an idea off as their own when they go around talking about it so much.

"I'm the only conservative who realistically has a chance to be the nominee, so any vote for Santorum or Peree, in affect, is a vote to allow Romney to become the nomine," Gingrich claims in Florence, SC.

I hope this helped, it's truly up to you, though, to decide whether or not Newt is a conservative or not. Thank you!

Yes, Newt Gingrich significantly increased the power of the Speaker of the House during his tenure from 1995 to 1999. He pursued an aggressive agenda that centralized power and authority in the Speaker's office, enabling him to exert greater control over the legislative process and party discipline. Gingrich also implemented various procedural reforms to streamline the passage of Republican priorities and strengthen the authority of the Speaker.

No, Newt Gingrich was declared unfit for service due to flat feet and near-sightedness. However, his adopted father was a career army officer that served in Korea and Vietnam. Gingrich is pro-military. He has also been quoted as saying, "Given everything I believe in, a large part of me thinks I should have gone over."

The Washington Times, owned by Sun Myung Moon, is a conservative newspaper and Gingrich is a conservative politician, so of course they are going to share some views, but I haven't found any indication of improper relations between them. Actually, Moon is so far right he probably thinks Newt is a flaming liberal!

Newt Gingrich was born on June 17, 1943

His life sized standup, as it appears at the Hollywood Shoppe is 6 feet tall. They appear to at least aimed at accuracy: the Bush standup is 5'11" and Abe Lincoln is 6'3". Newt's standup weighs only 5 pounds, though, so it's obviously not as true to life as it could be.

A Google image search shows that he's shorter than Bill Clinton. It shows also that he appears to be of average height--he does not seem exceptionally tall or short.

As a promise for morality in public office

Newt Gingrich (R-GA), the former Speaker of the House, was accused of financial improprieties which led to a House reprimand and $300,000 in sanctions leading to his resignation in 1997. He was not convicted of any criminal activity in any court.

I would sure like to know. He says he has no role in the Masons! What is that supposed to mean??

I can not answer how many annulments Newt may have received. I am aware of one and that was to his second wife. When Newt married her, she was a divorcee. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so considered his marriage to her as being invalid. Newt is a recent convert, or convert in progress, to Catholicism. It is not a matter of public record of what his current status as a Catholic is at this time nor am I able to find any references to other annulments.
