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.
The rule change that McCarthy allowed also affects Democrats. So just 1 Republican vote can oust a Democratic Speaker. They really fucked over both sides.
They could just change the rule back. The procedural rules change all the time.
I’m really hoping it does get immediately repealed when the next Dem is elected as Speaker.
