Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) moved to force a vote on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday, a momentous move that is all but certain to fail amid opposition from Democrats and conservative Republicans.
Greene — who filed her motion to vacate against Johnson more than a month ago — called her resolution to the floor as privileged on Wednesday, forcing GOP leadership to move on the measure within two legislative days.
Greene is using the same tool used to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last fall.
Most Republicans oppose the effort, and in this case Democrats are also expected to provide votes to protect Johnson.
