The House is without a speaker, the person who, according to the Constitution, is required to be its leader.
For as long as the House is trying to find a new speaker, it’s unable to do much of anything else.
What happened to the last House speaker?
Rep. Kevin McCarthy had been House speaker since January, when he won the gavel after 15 rounds of balloting.
McHenry booted Pelosi and former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Marlyand out of offices they kept in the Capitol building.
