Johnson has served as speaker of the House for five months. It wasn't immediately clear how the House would respond to the motion.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

      I don’t think that legislation can move forward in a scenario where there isn’t a Speaker. That impacts everyone.

        And I don’t think Mike Johnson should be the speaker.

        Just what legislation do you think the GOP is working on passing? The GOP being the majority is what impacts everyone.

        What legislation was going to be moving forward? Are they even doing anything other than the impeachment?
