Members of the US House of Representatives removed Speaker Kevin McCarthy from power in a historic vote Tuesday.
McCarthy's ouster represents the first time in the history of the United States that a speaker — the leader of the House majority and second in line from the presidency behind the vice-president — has been removed from office.
McCarthy said he will not run again for speaker. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden urged the House to choose a replacement quickly.
"Because the urgent challenges facing our nation will not wait, he hopes the House will quickly elect a speaker," White House Press Secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was tapped as speaker pro tempore after McCarthy's seat was vacated. McHenry, the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, is a McCarthy ally and spoke in support of him before the vote.
The top Republican in the House of Representatives has been voted out of his position, thanks to a motion filed by a rebel within his own party.
Kevin McCarthy made history yet again, becoming the first speaker ever voted out of office.

How was McCarthy voted out?
The motion to vacate the California Republican was filed by fellow GOP Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Trump ally Matt Gaetz spoke to the media after the historic development
On Monday, Gaetz announced in the House: "I have enough Republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen: Kevin McCarthy won't be speaker of the House, or he'll be the speaker of the House working at the pleasure of the Democrats."
In the end, he didn't need that long. Tuesday's 216-210 for removal swiftly saw McCarthy gone after a motion to delay the vote failed just prior.
McCarthy's reputation as a comparatively moderate Republican, who has in some cases shown a willingness to compromise with President Joe Biden, ultimately led to his downfall among conservatives.
Compromise on budget and shutdown prompted attempted removal
Earlier on Tuesday, McCarthy announced that he intended to conduct the ballot in the chamber's first round of votes in the afternoon.
The move came just days after the passing of a 45-day, stop-gap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.
Gaetz was angered that McCarthy passed the measure with Democratic votes and accused him of working for President Biden, and not his Republican colleagues.
He was also miffed that McCarthy had come to an agreement with Biden over further funding for Ukraine despite such finances being struck from the emergency 45-day bill known as a Continuing Resolution, or CR.
Many Republicans opposed to the idea of ousting McCarthy, as there was no clear plan in place for how to deal with the eventuality of his removal. That was the motivation for their last-minute motion to table the vote and cancel the process.
Yet that, too, failed by a 208-218 tally, with 11 Republicans voting against delay.
