House returns from recess, MTG’s plan to remove Johnson at forefront

The GOP-led House is reconvening for votes Monday as Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., says fellow chamber leader Mike Johnson’s “days as speaker are numbered.”
Last month, Greene filed a motion to remove Johnson after he committed to holding a vote for $61 billion of additional Ukraine war funding. The funding ultimately passed both chambers and President Biden signed it into law on April 24.
“Permanent funding for Ukraine is exactly what they want and Mike Johnson will give it to them,” Greene wrote Sunday on the social media platform X.
“Peace is not an option for them because it doesn’t fit the government appropriations war business and economic model, which is vile and disgusting,” she also wrote.
Greene predicted that the U.S. would ultimately need to put troops on the ground in Ukraine if the war goes on longer.
“They’re plan is keep funding the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and when that doesn’t work, after all the Ukrainian men have been slaughtered, next they will put American troops on the ground,” Greene wrote. “Johnson will do whatever Biden/Schumer want in order to keep the Speaker’s gavel in his hand, but he has completely sold out the Republican voters who gave us the majority.”
Greene, of Georgia, has the support of two other GOP House members – Reps. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, and Paul Gosar, of Arizona, to try to remove Johnson.
Any member of the House Republican Conference can call for a “motion to vacate,” but whether Greene has enough votes to remove him as of Monday afternoon remained unclear.
The House recessed after passing a $95 billion foreign aid package that included the Ukraine funding on April 20.
The bills that are scheduled for votes on Monday in the House include the Investing in All of America Act of 2023 and the Agency Accountability Act of 2024.

We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
