Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) threw the House of Representatives into chaos on Friday when she filed a motion to vacate the chair of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), according to Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News.
Greene's petition marks the second time in less than a year that a House Republican has moved to oust their own speaker after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last year filed a motion to vacate that led to the downfall of former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Greene has long threatened to oust Johnson should he agree to help send military aid to Ukraine as it tries to fight off an invasion from neighboring Russia.
