Im Shanelle Kaul, cbs news, new york. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. We begin tonight on this historic day here in the Nations Capital. For the first time in the history of american democracy and the First Congress of 1789, the speaker of the house has been removed from his position as the leader of the chamber. By a vote of 216210, lawmakers booted speaker kevin mccarthy, throwing the house into chaos and into unprecedented territory. Mccarthy seen here walking away from the chamber in bitter defeat after facing an uprising from the farright faction of his own party. Florida congressman matt gaetz, a longtime critic and thorn in the side of mccarthy, led the revolt after the now former speaker worked with democrats on a funding bill to avoid a Government Shutdown. Only eight republicans voted to vacate the chair, but 208 democrats refused to come to mccarthys rescue and save his speakership. Weve got a lot of news to bring you tonight, and cbss Scott Macfarlane will start us off from capitol hill. What a day. Good evening, scott. Reporter good evening, norah.

Reporter Florida Republican matt gaetz led the challenge, citing complaints about mccarthys deal with President Biden to avert a debt ceiling crisis in may and the 11thhour deal to avert a Government Shutdown saturday, in which mccarthy secured more support among democrats than republicans. Theres nothing selfish about wanting a speaker of the house who tells the truth. Reporter for now, the house turns to a temporary speaker, North Carolina republican patrick mchenry, until a formal vote occurs to choose a new speaker. Keeping government open and paying our troops was the right decision. I stand by that decision. At the end of the day, if i have to lose my job over it, so be it. Reporter many republicans who backed mccarthy worried the Party Infighting will hurt them in next years elections. I think its sending a terrible signal to the electorate in advance of the 24 election that this republican majority cannot govern itself, and we need to change that. Reporter mccarthy had hoped some democrats would vote to save him, but they decided to back his removal after watching video this morning in a private meeting of mccarthy on sundays face the nation, blaming democrats after
