Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker of the House.
He has said that he will not run for speaker of the house again.
A new speaker will be voted on.
Americans are now wondering how this will affect the impeachment inquiries into Joe Biden.
Experts are saying not much.
Academics and experts with in-depth knowledge on how the U.S. government operates told Fox News Digital that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s, R-Calif., removal from his post on Tuesday would likely not prevent the chamber from continuing to function, which includes the investigations into the Biden family and the impeachment inquiry against President Biden.
“There’s nothing that requires committees to slow down their activities, so there’s no reason why the Hunter Biden investigation or the impeachment-related investigation conducted on a joint committee basis would have to slow down,” said Steven S. Smith, a professor at the Arizona State University School of Politics & Global Affairs.

Mark Harkins and Joseph Huder, both senior fellows at The Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University. agreed with Smith.
“Today’s event was historic. It was huge, but effectively it changed nothing,” Huder told Fox News. “The House has its rules, it’s got committees, they’re all empowered to do investigations, they’re empowered to subpoena, to take witness testimony. The speaker, as the speaker pro tempore, has the powers of the speakership, and until he is reined in by his majority, he can use those as freely as the previous speaker.”
Who should be the next Speaker Of The House?
