Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has made headlines once again, this time by filing a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson and take over from previous Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the House of Representatives. The motion, which could require just a majority vote to remove Johnson, has raised questions about how the House will ultimately act on it.
Interestingly, Greene did not file the motion as privileged, which means it could be referred to a committee where it might not be addressed at all. Despite this, Greene has made it clear that the motion was meant as a warning rather than a pink slip, emphasizing the need for the House to choose a new speaker.
The House is currently set to recess on Friday and will not consider the motion until after it returns on April 9. It is worth noting that Rep. Matt Gaetz, who previously forced a vote to remove McCarthy, does not support the motion to vacate the chair and evict Johnson. Gaetz has expressed concerns about the possibility of Republicans crossing over and allowing a Democrat to become speaker.
Greene had hinted at her plans to file a motion, mentioning it on a podcast and in interviews with various media outlets. As this is a developing story, updates are expected as the situation unfolds. Stay tuned to Mix247edm for the latest developments on this intriguing political maneuver in the House of Representatives.
