House Democrats want to dispel any"confusion" over the role of interim speaker as the fight to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy is poised to drag on for weeks.
As though to put a finer point on it, Democrats have begun appending"acting" to the front of McHenry's title, since the rule governing his appointment leaves open the possibility of selecting another caretaker in his place. The selection of McHenry, who appeared first on a succession list McCarthy submitted to the House clerk in January, is unprecedented in American history. A speaker had never before been removed from his post, and each step McHenry takes in the interim sets a precedent should the situation arise again.
Rep. Kevin Hern , the head of the conservative Republican Study Committee, is also expected to join the race.
