"House Speaker Mike Johnson's Bold Approach to Governance and Climate Change Divide"

TL;DR Summary
Republican House speaker Mike Johnson is open to changing the rules regarding the removal of the speaker, allowing any member to introduce a "motion to vacate" followed by a majority floor vote. Johnson acknowledges that the current rule, which led to the removal of Kevin McCarthy, makes it difficult for any speaker to do their job. He aims to decentralize political power from the speaker to the committees and lead in a more transparent manner. Johnson's priority is to empower the committees and ensure regular order to avoid the need for a motion to vacate.
