Political infighting in the US House of Representatives has plunged Congress into deeper chaos.

The lower chamber has voted to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The Republican was dismissed in a vote triggered by a rare challenge from his own party. Republican Representative Matt Gaetz filed a motion to force a vote on removing McCarthy.

Gaetz and a handful of allies criticized McCarthy for relying on Democratic votes to pass temporary funding that headed off a partial government shutdown.
