What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?

Correct answer

Mike Johnson

Also accepted: Mike Johnson · Johnson · James Michael Johnson

Why

As of October 2026 the Speaker of the House is Mike Johnson (USCIS also accepts “Johnson” or his birth name, James Michael Johnson). A new Congress begins in January 2027 and elects a Speaker, so check again if your interview is after that. This answer changes when the officeholder changes: give the name of the Speaker serving on the day of your interview, and check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates shortly before it. This is one of the 20 questions marked with an asterisk for the 65/20 special consideration.
