Al ser destituido Kevin McCarthy de su puesto como presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, en parte por colegas que ayudaron a ponerlo en la tribuna hace nueve meses, uno de sus principales lugartenientes intervino para presidir el recinto, al menos temporalmente.
El representante republicano Patrick McHenry tomó el mazo tras la votación del martes para echar a McCarthy, la primera vez que el presidente de la cámara baja es destituido en Estados Unidos.
McHenry sólo se desempeñó un periodo en la Asamblea General, donde fue testigo de un estancamiento histórico en torno a quién debía ser el presidente de ese recinto legislativo. La disputa llegó a su fin con un acuerdo en el que un demócrata y un republicano compartían el puesto, y cada uno de ellos presidía las sesiones en días alternos.
