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.
At this point, I think the job of the Speaker of the House is going to be a position most politicians wouldn’t want to touch.
Democrats seem to do a fine job of managing their caucus when they have the gavel.
That’s because of the democrats’ shared platform of not being obstructionist disruptive morons.
Such an amazing bar too lol
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I’m really hoping it does get immediately repealed when the next Dem is elected as Speaker.
Most GOP politicians.
