(R-LA) is set to face his own ouster after expediting a bipartisan spending legislation through the lower chamber on Friday just hours before a scheduled government shutdown.(R-GA) filed a motion to vacate against the speaker on Friday, accusing the speaker of failing to do more to secure America’s border and for working with wish list that continues the border invasion, funds the weaponized government, and breaks our own conference rules,” Greene wrote in a post on X earlier Friday.
The threat comes after weeks of frustration from hard-line Republicans toward Johnson, which came to a boiling point this week after the speaker finalized a spending agreement for the remaining six appropriations bills in a series of closed-door negotiations without lawmaker input. While several Republicans have decried the spending legislation and voted against it on the floor on Friday, few have publicly said whether they would retaliate against Johnson or threaten his leadership position. But that changed on Friday morning when Greene told Steve Bannon on hisshow that a possible motion to vacate would be made in a “minute by minute” decision — later filing such a motion just hours later. Greene has repeatedly criticized Johnson’s leadership after the last few months, arguing the speaker has violated the same Republican rules that were used to oust his predecessor just five months earlie
