According to the search results, the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, was removed from his position 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. The rules of the 118th Congress state that "in the case of a vacancy in the office of speaker, the next member" named on a list submitted by McCarthy to the clerk of the House in January will become speaker pro tempore until a speaker is elected. The names that McCarthy submitted, however, are not public. During a normal speaker election, which takes place at the start of each Congress, a bipartisan committee, usually consisting of members from the home state of the chosen candidate, will then escort the speaker-elect to the chair on the dais where the oath of office is taken. It is unclear who will be selected to succeed McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
