Now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was stripped of his gavel on Tuesday afternoon via roll-call vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) motion to vacate the chair, pursuant to rules agreed to by McCarthy in order to clinch victory in his drawn-out race to become speaker in January.
By a vote of 216 to 210, the historic motion prevailed as presiding Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) declared "the resolution is adopted...the office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant."
The Republicans joining Gaetz in his motion to vacate were Reps. Biggs (AZ), Buck (CO), Burchett (TN), Crane (AZ), Good (VA), Mace (SC), Rosendale (MT

“Bring it on!”
Queer Kevin found out.
Frank Luntz deeply saddened.
The final “Young Gun” RINO turd has finally been flushed.
Nominate Trump and count the votes. Then impeach Joe Biden who betrayed the country and won through industrial scale voter fraud. The start the nuremberg trials... that is how you get justice.
Being the SOTHOR is not a hard job. Just tell the RINOs to go f themselves daily. Hell I will do it for free.
Where’s the J6 videos? 🥴
Another promise broke.
“Why did all the Democrats vote for this?”
To sow chaos.
L
Great point. Appreciate it.
Why did all the Democrats vote for this?
That is true insofar as Reagan trying to turn the tide, but the GOP was hopelessly moderate from Coolidge through to Regan. Ford was milquetoast and a RINO in Congress, Bob Michel was a moderate as House Minority Leader, Nixon was a moderate a President, Ike was moderate although a pretty good President.
How the hell many videos do you have to see...You watched it live and then the media released a gazillion videos.
NOW, do what Dims do...GPut the most radical hard right nut we have in as speaker.
I agree and hope the next republican Speaker has a spine and doesn't work for the GOPe RINO contingent. We need a genuine fighter in that position to hold the out of control Uniparty accountable.
My first term Congressman who has an "R" behind his name voted for the CR, and voted in favor of tabling the motion to vacate the Speakership today. I called his Washington office yesterday, spoke to an office boy, and let him have it with both barrels about his vote on Saturday. I won't bother calling again over his vote in favor of keeping McCarthy. When he runs for re-election, which I assume he will, I'll simply scratch his name off the ballot, and write mine in. Screw him.
I also noticed on the vote breakdown on the CR and the motion to table the vote on vacating the speakership, Anna Paulina Luna (FL) didn't vote on either motion. Pelosi didn't vote today either, but she voted yea on the CR on Saturday.
Actually there is about 36,000 hours of security tape from Jan 6th that has never been shown.
Why is that being held back? It is a legitimate question to ask.
Indeed! Long term planning has gotten us into this mess!
Marjorie Taylor Greene voted in favor of her man.
Perfect analogy! But hey, he said he was gonna catch it, and he did!
I’m all for this happening and getting rid of Gaetz.
“now what?”
Oh I am sure that the Republicans who voted him out have a plan.
Matt Gaetz not smart enough? LOL! He runs circles around all you uniparty fanboys.
