While the House of Representatives was without a speaker, Republican representatives continued to earn substantial salaries.
Republican representatives earned over $2,000,000 collectively while the House of Representatives was in a deadlock without a speaker this month.After Kevin McCarthy was ousted on October 3, the House had no speaker for 21 days, the longest that Congress has been rudderless since 1962, when it took 55 days to elect a speaker.According to Newsweek analysis, during that period, the 222 Republicans in the House earned a collective $2,228,538.
Until the new speaker was elected, Representative Patrick McHenry served as speaker pro tempore. However, the interim position has limited powers to bring bills to the floor.An effort to give McHenry interim power to call up bills and schedule them for votes collapsed after some Republicans objected that this would amount to establishing coalition rule in the House, given it would require the votes of some Democrats.
