The Washington Post reports that Nancy Pelosi will definitely return as Speaker of the House after making a deal with her Democratic opponents that would set term limits for top leaders. That deal would be retroactive and would require Pelosi to step down no later than 2022:
Under the accord, Pelosi, 78, will support a three-term limit for the top three House Democratic leaders, with a possible fourth term if Democratic members vote by a two-thirds majority to retain them.
The limit would be retroactive, meaning Pelosi, incoming House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and incoming House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S. C.) — all of whom held the same posts from 2007 to 2011 — would be effectively limited to one, maybe two, terms going forward if the policy is adopted.
