Per the "House Practice: A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House, Chapter 3: Office of the Speaker," the speaker is required to submit a confidential list to the clerk of people “in the order in which each shall act as speaker pro tempore in the case of a vacancy.” Should McCarthy suddenly find himself out of his job, the clerk will then pull out that list that was given to him, and the number-one name on that list become the interim speaker. His or her first order of business: The election of a new speaker.The GOP is a mess. Who are they going to get to replace McCarthy, besides a crazy?
