历史首次!他被罢免
据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,当地时间10月3日,美国众议院就罢免共和党籍众议长麦卡锡的动议进行表决,最终以216票赞成、210票反对的投票结果通过动议。
CNN称,这是美国历史上第一次出现众议长被投票罢免,麦卡锡从2023年1月7日担任众议长一职直至10月3日被罢免,是美国历史上任期第三短的众议长。
For the first time in US history, the House of Representatives on Tuesday ousted its speaker, Republican Kevin McCarthy, plunging the lower chamber of Congress into turmoil and paralysis until a new leader is elected.
"The office of speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant," said presiding Arkansas Republican Steve Womack after the 216 to 210 vote to remove McCarthy.
Republican Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was named interim speaker under a law passed after the Sept 11 attacks in the event of a vacancy in the office. He recessed the House so both parties can find a path forward. McHenry told GOP lawmakers they will hold a candidate forum next Tuesday and an election for speaker next Wednesday.
"Why is it that Republicans are always fighting among themselves, why aren't they fighting the Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our Country?" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
