U.S. House ousts Speaker McCarthy, a first in U.S. history

美 맥카시 하원의장 해임, 미국 역사상 처음 We begin in the U.S. The House of Representatives voted to oust its Speaker Kevin McCarthy. This is the first time in history the chamber has dethroned its leader. Our political correspondent Lee Shi-hoo starts us off. The motion to oust Kevin McCarthy, driven by a small group of right-wing Republicans, passed in a 216 to 210 vote, making him the first Speaker of the House to be ousted in a no-confidence vote. The "motion to vacate" the chair of the U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was introduced by Republican Representative Matt Gaetz from Florida. "Chaos is Speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word." Despite opposing views and support for McCarthy, also a Republican "And one thing Speaker McCarthy embraced from day one is to start making those kinds of changes to this institution, opening up the process, allowing members to be more engaged, having amendments come to the floor, single subject bills, doing appropriations bills. " No clear successor has emerged yet, but Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina has assumed the role of speaker pro tempore. The ouster was set in motion on Saturday when Mister McCarthy averted a government shutdown by passing a short-term funding bill with the help of House Democrats before it passed the Senate and was signed by President Biden. The 45-day continuing resolution displeased some Republicans in the House who accused McCarthy of not doing enough to cut federal spending. The vacancy comes at a critical time when Congress has just a little over 40 days to avert another potential shutdown of the government.
