According to the search results, Kevin McCarthy, the House Speaker, was removed from his position on October 3, 2023, after a resolution from Rep. Matt Gaetz passed with the support of eight Republicans and all the Democrats present and voting. McCarthy is the first speaker in history to be removed from office through a vote of the full House in the middle of a congressional term. After the vote, Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry was named temporary speaker or speaker pro tempore, as he was the next member named on a list submitted by McCarthy to the clerk of the House in January. McHenry can serve in the temporary role indefinitely, but he does not have the full power of a duly elected speaker. The House will need to choose a new speaker, but the names that McCarthy submitted are not public. The situation is fluid and changing quickly, and it is unclear who will be selected to succeed McCarthy.
