WASHINGTON: In the 234-year-ling history of the United States of America, the House of Representatives backed a resolution to remove its speaker
Kevin McCarthy was replaced a year before the presidential election.
Representative Matt Gaetz called Kevin McCarthy “a creature of the swamp” following his ouster.
Representative Patrick McHenry from the Republican party, a close ally of the ousted speaker, was named as acting speaker from a list designated by McCarthy.
The Republicans who voted to oust fellow party member McCarthy were Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Tim Burchett, Eli Crane, Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, Nancy Mace and Matt Rosendale.
McCarthy’s eight fellow Republicans were incongruent with his handling of fiscal issues as the ousted Speaker averted the government shutdown Saturday putting a “clean” stopgap funding bill on the House floor. He did so with the help of Democrats.
