 Removing McCarthy would be historic.

The U.S. House of Representatives has never successfully voted to remove the speaker before.

If you're writing about it, don't confuse "historic" and "historical." Historic things are important. Historical things simply happened in the past.

 @bb052609 Indicting a former president for felonies was supposed to be historic...now it's par for the course. 

McCarthy's replacement should one exist, will face the same fate. Watch them reelect him to be Speaker. 
 @bb052609 this post is great 😅😅 
 @bb052609 

Is it not "an historical event"?
