The Georgia Republican said she has no timeline for calling a vote on the measure, known as a motion to vacate.
Washington — Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Friday laid the groundwork for an eventual vote to strip House Speaker Mike Johnson of the gavel as lawmakers approved a $1.2 trillion spending package to avert a partial government shutdown.Greene opposed the sweeping package, which encompassed six spending bills, and urged Johnson not to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote, calling it a 'Democrat-controlled bill' in the GOP-led House.
Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, did after McCarthy relied on Democrats to pass a government funding bill in early October and keep federal agencies operating. Gaetz and seven other Republican lawmakers voted with all Democrats to oust McCarthy, marking the first time a speaker was removed in a no-confidence vote.
