House makes history, Kevin McCarthy voted out of chamber

WASHINGTON (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Tuesday for the first time in U.S. history, Republican lawmaker, Kevin McCarthy becomes the only House Speaker booted out of power in a vote of 216-210. 

The House voted to remove McCarthy as Speaker, a move without precedent in American modern history. The chaos in Congress sparked concerns, over upholding the power of honesty in governing policies.

The motion to vacate the speaker's chair was a bi-partisan decision, between Republicans and Democrats.

A dramatic vote led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican. McCarthy expressed, "I think you you've got a real institutional problem.  Doing what's right isn't easy.  But it's necessary.  I took a risk for the American public.
