Rep. Greene Introduces Privileged Motion to Oust Speaker Johnson Amidst House Floor Boos
May 8, 2024, 09:30 PM
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has initiated a motion to vacate the office of Speaker of the House, targeting Speaker Mike Johnson. This move, which has been met with opposition from both fellow Republicans and Democrats, was triggered on the House floor amidst boos from her colleagues. The motion is considered a long shot, with significant resistance expected, particularly from Democrats who have indicated they will vote to support Johnson. Greene's actions follow a series of negotiations and demands she placed on Johnson, including halting Ukraine aid and enforcing the Hastert Rule. Despite the controversy and the low likelihood of success, Greene has pushed forward with the motion, which now requires a vote within two legislative days. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise moved to table the resolution, and Greene introduced the motion as privileged.
