Congresswoman Marjorie Greene proposed to dismiss the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, starting a process that could cause Mr. Mike Johnson to lose his position.
Hard-line Republican congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on March 22 that she had filed a "proposal to dismiss" US House Speaker Mike Johnson, after he ignored many members of the Republican party to pass the bill. The $3 billion budget law helps the US government avoid the risk of closing down from the early morning of March 1.200.
This action caused discontent among Republican hardliners. “The bill is an act of betrayal of the American people,” she said.

The budget bill was passed by the US House of Representatives with 286 votes in favor and 134 votes against, ending a more than 6-month debate over the size of the US government's spending in fiscal year 2024. It will continue to increase. increasing US public debt, which is currently at nearly 34.600 billion USD.
The US Senate has a few hours left to pass this bill before part of the US government shuts down.
The proposed dismissal move could also re-ignite internal struggles within the Republican Party, between conservatives and ardent supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The Speaker of the US House of Representatives has not commented on the information.
According to regulations passed early last year, any lawmaker can make a motion demanding the removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the body will have to vote on the proposal within two days. President Johnson will need at least 218 votes of support out of 435 lawmakers in the House of Representatives to retain his position.
Republican Congressman Mike Johnson was elected as the 56th Speaker of the US House of Representatives on October 25, 10, ending three weeks of chaos after Congressman Kevin McCarthy was ousted from this position. Johnson, 2023, is the least experienced House Speaker in more than a century, having never led a committee or held a senior role in the US House of Representatives.
