Ousting Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from his position as speaker of the House may have implications beyond the U.S. fiscal crisis; it could also limit the House's response to Hamas' Saturday attack on Israel.
Ousting Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from his position as speaker of the House may have implications beyond the U.S. fiscal crisis; it could also limit the House's response to Hamas' Saturday attack on Israel.
Put in place in 2003, House Rule I, Clause 8, states: "In the case of a vacancy in the Office of Speaker, the next Member on the list described in subdivision shall act as Speaker pro tempore until the election of a Speaker or a Speaker pro tempore. Pending such election the Member acting as Speaker pro tempore may exercise such authorities of the Office of Speaker as may be necessary and appropriate to that end.
Former House Parliamentarian Charles Johnson previously told the Post that McHenry is "doing the right thing" by keeping a low profile thus far. McHenry ordered the House into a recess after he was named speaker pro tempore to allow the Republican conference time to debate who should occupy the chamber's top position next.
Glassman later said he was persuaded by "strong evidence for the narrow view" after Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., found a House Rules Committee description from 2004 that stated the position existed "for the sole purpose of electing a new speaker."
