TL;DR Summary

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson after lawmakers approved a $1.2 trillion spending package, which she opposed. Greene accused Johnson of handing over negotiating power to Democrats and breaking a conference rule. The motion, known as a motion to vacate, could lead to a vote to remove Johnson from his position. However, it's uncertain whether House Republicans have the appetite for another attempt to boot the speaker, and some Democrats have indicated they would help rescue Johnson if the lower chamber voted to remove him from power.
