Two weeks ago, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) became the first Speaker of the House to be voted out, which left the congress in need of a new Speaker. The House is trying to vote for Jim Jordan (C-OH) as the new speaker of the House, but after 2 rounds of voting, he has not gotten enough support from his fellow Republicans. Patrick McHenry (C-N.C.) is currently filling the role temporarily but does not have all the power as a normal speaker. The Speaker of the House decides what bills get to go to the house floor to vote on or not. The speaker is also second in line after the vice president to become president.
