Here's why (wiki)

On May 16, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Cardinal McCarrick as Archbishop of Washington, DC, upon the latter's reaching the customary age limit, and appointed Donald Wuerl, Bishop of Pittsburgh, as the 6th Archbishop of Washington, DC. From May 16 until Wuerl's installation one month later on June 22, 2006, McCarrick served as the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Washington, an interim post. Despite stepping down from his post, McCarrick is still eligible to participate in future papal conclaves that begin before his 80th birthday on July 7, 2010.
