It is the first time in the US history that House representatives have voted the Speaker out.
US House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, has been removed from office for first time in history.
It follows a decision made by McCarthy over the weekend to cooperate with the Democrats to keep the government running rather than risk a shutdown.
It is a move that angered far-right Republicans, as McCarthy relied on Democratic votes to pass a temporary funding extension on Saturday that avoided a partial government shutdown.
