House Speaker Voted Out

In an unprecedented move, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out by both members of the House of Representatives. It is unclear why former Speaker McCarthy (RINO from California) did not resign the position before the vote.

We should expect political conflict and turmoil to increase until we have a new federal government around 2032. This may mean big States such as California may go there own way and separate from the federal government.

The big-government neocon Republicans attempted to delay the vote, but were stymied.


Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives following an unprecedented motion to remove him from the nation's third-highest post.

In a historic recall vote, the House voted 216-210 on Tuesday to strip McCarthy of his leadership role, after far-right Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a long shot "motion to vacate" the night before.

The motion only required a simple majority vote to succeed, which was reached with the help of House Democrats. Shortly after McCarthy announced that he would not make a deal with Democrats in order to earn their backing, Minority House Leader Hakeem Jeffries reportedly directed his caucus to vote for new leadership.

Republican officials attempted to push the recall vote to a later date so that they could have more time to lobby defectors, but the motion to table failed on Tuesday afternoon.

McCarthy's ousting marks the first time in the nation's history that a House speaker has been removed, and the first time in 113 years that the House has formally sought to oust its speaker.
