A search is under way for a Speaker of the House of Representatives after Republican Kevin McCarthy was unexpectedly pushed out by a right-wing revolt in his own party.
The Republicans control the lower chamber of Congress but with a very narrow majority.
So when eight rebels joined the Democrats on Tuesday night, his fate was sealed in a 216-210 final vote.
It is the first time a House Speaker, one of the top jobs in US politics, has been removed in this way.
