"House GOP Leaders Grapple with Rules Change Amid Speaker Removal Momentum"

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has rejected calls to change the rules for removing a House speaker, despite facing opposition from some GOP members over his support for a Ukraine aid bill. Two lawmakers, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, are seeking his removal, but Johnson criticized their efforts as "absurd" and stressed that he is not resigning. The discussions come as Johnson's position is under threat, but he remains firm in his decision to support a foreign aid package for Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of not playing politics with the situation.
