Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was removed from his position as speaker of the House on Oct. 3, days after he partnered with Democrats to pass a 45-day continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a government shutdown. Following the removal, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) became speaker pro tempore, a limited role in which he has sufficient power to facilitate the election of a new speaker but not to advance legislation. Rep. McHenry was designated for the role by Rep. McCarthy shortly after his January election; a post-9\/11 rule requires the speaker to make a secret list of who would fill the post in the case of a vacancy, but the appointment only lasts until another speaker is elected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#397389&#8243; divider_style=&#8221;dotted&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||14px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||2px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/comms.bhfs.com\/rv\/ff00b76f35d67e41954f6f0b514a89c765940102&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Get more policy intelligence and exclusive insights about Congress, Legislation, Taxes, and more from Brownstein, click here.&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Call to Action Button&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||23px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#397389&#8243; divider_style=&#8221;dotted&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||14px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||2px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Content&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Democratic Senators Urge IRS and Treasury Department to Close Ambiguities in Tax Code.\u00a0<\/strong>Sens.
