In January 2023 it took 15 Voting Rounds to elect Kevin
McCarthy as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
It was the longest Rounds of Voting for a Speaker in the
House.
He was ousted today: 216 votes to 210.
It is the first time in history that Representatives have
chosen to remove their Speaker from office.
Now the House has to waste time voting (hopefully not another
15 times) to find a new Speaker before any new business - like keeping the Federal Government open
past November 17th - can be done.
