'''The Curse of Lamport''' is a widely publicized pattern of no person being able to stay in office for an entire term after Chief Justice [[Lamport]] has held it. Currently, this applies to the [[Speaker of the House]] and [[President of the United States]]. Mainly, the reason no one has been able to stay in an office for an entire term after Lamport because of resignation due to public scandal, leaving someone else to fulfill the rest of the term. Many people find it shocking that it has been over one year since there has been a full Speakership.  
The '''Curse of Lamport''' or '''Speakership curse''' was an 18 month period beginning in October, 2018 where - following the election of Speaker [[Lamport]] to the Senate - no one was able to complete a full term as Speaker without resigning or being dismissed by the House. While Speaker [[J.G.T. Webb]] and [[Valerie]] both came close to the record, the curse was finally broken by Speaker [[John Smith]] in April, 2020.
