Office Vacant[a]


Following the successful motion to vacate the speakership of Kevin McCarthy of California on October 3, 2023, the members of the U.S. House of Representatives began holding an intra-term election for speaker of the House on October 17. McCarthy had previously been elected on January 7, 2023, after fifteen rounds of voting in the January speakership election at the start of the 118th Congress. McCarthy has said that he will not attempt to regain the speakership. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, a Republican, is serving as speaker pro tempore until a new speaker or a different speaker pro tempore is elected.

Hakeem Jeffries of New York was unanimously nominated by House Democrats on October 10. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was initially nominated by House Republicans on October 11, but he withdrew from the race the next day. Jim Jordan of Ohio was nominated on a second vote on October 13.

In the first round of voting, Hakeem Jeffries received 212 votes and Jim Jordan received 200 votes. Despite not being formally nominated, Steve Scalise received 7 votes, Kevin McCarthy received 6 votes, former Representative Lee Zeldin of New York received 3 votes, and Tom Cole of Oklahoma, Tom Emmer of Minnesota, Mike Garcia of California and Thomas Massie of Kentucky each received one vote. Because no person received the majority of votes cast, a second round of voting will be necessary.

Background

Main article: Removal of Kevin McCarthy

On October 2, Matt Gaetz of Florida filed a motion to vacate, forcing a vote on McCarthy's removal within two legislative days.[1] Gaetz filed the motion after McCarthy relied on Democrats to help pass a bipartisan continuing resolution to fund the government through November 17, averting a government shutdown.[2] Voting began the following day; McCarthy ruled out a deal involving support from Democrats in exchange for concessions.[3] Tom Cole of Oklahoma unsuccessfully moved to table (kill) the motion. Following one hour of debate evenly divided between Gaetz and Cole, the motion passed by a vote of 216–210; this was the first time in congressional history the House voted to remove an incumbent speaker during an active congressional legislative session.[4]

A speaker pro tempore (i.e. someone acting as speaker on a temporary basis) is designated in the event the office of the speaker is declared vacant. Under the current rules of the House (established in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001), at the start of their term, the speaker is required to create a secret ordered list of members to temporarily act as speaker of the House if the speakership becomes vacant.[5] Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was at the top of McCarthy's list and became the speaker pro tempore following McCarthy's removal.[6]

The vote to vacate was mostly split along party lines; all Democrats present voted yes and over 96% of Republicans present voted no, for a total vote of 216–210. Republican representatives Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Tim Burchett, Eli Crane, Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, Nancy Mace, and Matt Rosendale voted yes. Seven members (three Republican and four Democratic) were absent and did not vote; two seats were vacant.[7]

Process and nominations

Matt Gaetz of Florida (left/top) successfully removed Kevin McCarthy of California (right/bottom) from the speakership

The speaker of the House of Representatives is the House's presiding officer, and the position is explicitly established by the Constitution of the United States.[8] The House elects its speaker at the beginning of a new Congress (i.e. biennially after a general election) or when a speaker dies, resigns, or is removed from the position by a vote held during an active term.[9]

The selection of a speaker has the highest priority in the operation of the House, and is described in Rule #1 of the 118th United States Congress Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives.[9] In past cases when the speakership has been vacant, the House has not conducted any other business until completing the election of a new speaker. Differing opinions have been expressed about whether this is the only action that is allowed to be taken during such a period, and particularly regarding whether the House could pass legislation during such a period or not, but it has never been attempted.[10][11]

Following the vote to remove McCarthy, House Republicans and Democrats will hold caucus meetings to nominate candidates for the speakership. A simple majority of the caucus is required to put forward a nominee.[12]

Since 1839, the House has elected speakers by roll call vote.[13] Traditionally, each party's caucus or conference selects a candidate for the speakership from among its senior leaders prior to the roll call. Representatives are not restricted to voting for the candidate nominated by their party, but generally do, as the outcome of the election effectively determines which party has the majority and consequently is expected to organize the House.[14] Representatives that choose to vote for someone other than their party's nominated candidate usually vote for someone else in their party or vote "present".

Moreover, as the Constitution does not explicitly state that the speaker must be an incumbent member of the House, it is permissible for representatives to vote for someone who is not a member of the House at the time, and non-members have received a few votes in various speaker elections over the past several years.[15] Nevertheless, every person elected speaker has been a member.[14]

To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes cast, as contrasted with an absolute majority of the full membership of the House – presently 218 votes, in a House of 435. There have only been a few instances during the past century where a person received a majority of the votes cast, and thus won the election, while failing to obtain a majority of the full membership. One of these instances was in the previous speakership election, in January 2023 (118th Congress), when Kevin McCarthy was elected with 216 votes (less than 218 due to "present" votes, which indicate abstention). Such a variation in the number of votes necessary to win a given election might arise due to vacancies, absentees, or members being present but not voting. Upon winning election, the new speaker is immediately sworn in by the dean of the United States House of Representatives, the chamber's longest-serving member.[16][17]

If no candidate wins a majority of the "votes cast for a person by name", then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected. Generally, the only other action the House can take is to adjourn for a period of time, which must be voted upon to occur.[18][19][20]

Democratic nomination

On October 10, 2023, Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Leader of the House Democratic Caucus and current House Minority Leader, was unanimously renominated by House Democrats for speaker of the House.[21] Jeffries was also the Democratic nominee for Speaker in the January election.[22][21]

Republican nomination

After the speakership was vacated on October 3, a number of different candidates for the Republican nomination were proposed including Jim Jordan of Ohio, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, and former President Donald Trump. On October 4, Jordan and Scalise announced their candidacies.[23] That same day, Troy Nehls of Texas announced that he would nominate Trump for speaker.[24] Trump publicly considered running for the position, even weighing a visit to the Capitol to gather support for his bid.[25] On the evening of October 5, Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that he would not run for speaker and instead would endorse Jim Jordan.[26]

Statement from 45 Republican members of the House condemning McCarthy's removal

Forty-five Republican representatives wrote an open letter objecting to the McCarthy ejection from his position as speaker.[27][28] The letter said the representatives were "ashamed and embarrassed by what happened", and praising McCarthy's performance as "one of the most accomplished Republican leaders in modern history".[29] Some of the representatives who signed the letter have said they refuse to endorse any candidate until the rules about the motion-to-vacate process are changed, including Stephanie Bice, Oklahoma's 5th district; Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania's 1st district; Garret Graves, Louisiana's 6th district; Dusty Johnson, South Dakota's at-large district; Michael McCaul, Texas's 10th district and Jason Smith, Missouri's 8th district.[27]

On Friday, October 6, it was reported that a televised debate was planned to be hosted by Bret Baier of Fox News between Scalise, Jordan and Hern on the following Monday, and that a candidate forum was planned for Tuesday and a closed party election on Wednesday.[27][30] However, following the reports, centrist Republican representatives criticized the planned debate as a "circus". In response, Scalise, Jordan and Hern each announced they would not participate.[30]

On Wednesday, October 11, Steve Scalise was nominated as McCarthy's replacement by the House Republican Conference. Scalise defeated Jim Jordan in a 113–99 vote. Scalise withdrew from the race the next day when it became clear that he would not gain the 217 votes needed to be elected speaker.[31] On October 13, Jim Jordan was nominated by the House Republican Conference. Jordan defeated Austin Scott in a 124–81 vote.[32] Immediately after, the conference had a validation vote to see if Representatives would vote for Jordan on the floor. In the vote, Jordan received 152 votes, well below the 217 votes needed to become speaker.[33] Despite not having the votes to become speaker, Jordan said he intended to hold a Speaker vote on the floor on Tuesday, October 17.[34] To build support for his candidacy, lawmakers and activists allied with Jordan took to interviews and social media to pressure Republicans to back Jordan.[35][36] On Monday, October 16, it was reported that several Jordan opponents, including Mike Rogers, Ann Wagner, and Ken Calvert, had moved to support Jordan indicating that his support had grown since the Friday votes.[37] By Monday evening it was reported that more previous holdouts changed their support to Jordan as he agreed to link Ukraine and Israel funding for their respective wars. However, five Republicans, including Don Bacon, Mike Lawler, and Ken Buck still opposed Jordan.[38]

First nomination

The first House Republican Conference vote was held on October 11, 2023.[64] Prior to the vote, House Republicans tabled (killed) a motion from Representative Chip Roy that would have required the Republican nominee to receive 217 votes, instead of a simple majority, to become the nominee.[65] Despite a challenge from Jordan, Scalise won the majority of votes, becoming the Republican nominee for speaker of the House. Only 212 out of 224[c] conference members cast a vote for either Scalise or Jordan.[128][129][130] In an interview released shortly after the vote, Ken Buck claimed that he had voted present, as he was not satisfied with either candidate.[131] Representative Cory Mills missed the vote because he was in Israel helping to evacuate Americans impacted by the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[132]

Steve Scalise of Louisiana was nominated by the Republican Party on October 11, but withdrew a day later.

Minutes after the meeting concluded, representatives Lauren Boebert, Bob Good, Nancy Mace, Max Miller, Barry Moore, and Lloyd Smucker said that they would continue to vote for Jordan on the House floor.[133] Representative Carlos Gimenez said he would vote for Kevin McCarthy on the floor unless McCarthy told him otherwise.[134] These defections were unexpected since abiding by the results of an internal nominee selection was "historically a given."[135] With not enough votes to elect Scalise speaker on the House floor, Republicans decided to postpone the floor vote, which had been scheduled to be held that afternoon.[136] On October 12, after another postponement of the floor vote, Scalise withdrew his Speaker candidacy.[31]

Second nomination

The second House Republican Conference vote was held on October 13, 2023.[137] After losing to Steve Scalise in the first vote held on October 11, Jim Jordan won the majority of the votes becoming the Republican nominee for speaker of the House, despite a late challenge from Austin Scott.[32] Seven members of the conference cast a ballot for someone other than Jordan or Scott, and one member voted present.[138]

Jim Jordan Green tickY 124 58.5%
Austin Scott 81 38.2%

Calls for a bipartisan coalition

In an October 6 op-ed in the Washington Post, Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries proposed that "Republican partners willing to break with MAGA extremism" should work with Democrats in the chamber to strike a deal to form a "bipartisan governing coalition". Jeffries wrote that under such a deal, the "House should be restructured to promote governance by consensus and facilitate up-or-down votes on bills that have strong bipartisan support" and argued that this approach would "reflect the inescapable reality that Republicans are reliant on Democratic support to do the basic work of governing."[139][140][141] In an appearance on All In with Chris Hayes on the same day, Democrat Jamie Raskin of Maryland suggested that moderate Republicans should strike a governing deal with Democrats and support Jeffries or an anti-Trump Republican such as Liz Cheney as Speaker.[45]

On October 12, before Scalise withdrew, Representative Mike Rogers suggested that Republicans would have to work with Democrats to elect a speaker.[142] Following Scalise's withdrawal, more Republicans and Democrats expressed openness to a bipartisan coalition.[143]

Election of the speaker

The election of the speaker began on October 17, 2023. At the time of the election, there were two vacant seats (RI-1 and UT-2). Republican Gus Bilirakis of Florida also missed the first vote due to a family funeral.[144][145]

On the first ballot, Elise Stefanik of New York gave a nominating speech for Jordan and Pete Aguilar of California gave a nominating speech for Jeffries.[146] Twenty Republicans voted for someone other than Jordan, and one was absent.[147] The twenty votes for others than Jordan was equal to the highest number of Republican defectors that voted for someone other than McCarthy in the January election.[148]
