WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.
Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.
Pretty sure those are house rules. I think they are agreed upon at the beginning of every session of congress. They can likely be changed with a simple majority but the handful of fucking-batshit-insane GOP don’t want to give up that power. I can’t imagine Dems just holding onto that rule when it should just be an
essayeasy vote to revert back to what it was.Thank you! I agree, I don’t think Dems would keep that rule. Which kind of makes it only for republicans. But now I understand that they are in fact House rules that would need to be changed. Thanks again bro/sis!
