众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊为了保住自己的议长职位，正在向共和党同僚发起进攻众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林提出动议要求罢免他就在他升任该职位几个月后。
约翰逊，在众议院休会前提出的撤离动议对共和党人来说是一种“干扰”周日在接受福克斯新闻频道采访时说.
“我认为我的所有其他共和党同事都认识到这是对我们使命的干扰，”约翰逊说。“再说一次，任务是拯救共和国。我们能做到这一点的唯一途径是我们增加众议院的多数席位，赢得参议院并入主白宫。所以我们现在不需要任何争执。
预计众议院不会采纳该决议，因为它不是作为“特权”提交的。约翰逊说，他一直在与格林发短信，预计下周初众议院复会时与她会面。
“玛乔丽是朋友。例如，她对最近的拨款法案感到非常沮丧。你猜怎么着？我也是，”约翰逊说。
"...他补充说:“以美国历史上最小的差距，我们有时会得到我们不喜欢的立法。”“民主党人知道，当我们没有站在一起，以极微弱的多数，那么他们就有更好的谈判地位，这就是为什么我们有一些我们不喜欢的东西。”
格林在投票为政府提供资金以防止政府关门后提出了让约翰逊离职的动议-约翰逊需要民主党的投票才能通过。这位佐治亚州共和党人将她的动议称为撤销“警告”，并补充说“我们的会议是时候选择一位新的议长了。”
格林说:“这基本上是一个警告，我们现在应该走完这个过程，慢慢来，找到一个新的众议院议长，他将与共和党人和我们的共和党多数党站在一起，而不是与民主党站在一起。
格林周一在X上发文抨击约翰逊，称议长在边境政策上支持民主党——这是约翰逊支持的支出法案的一部分防止政府关门。
格林在x网站上发文称:“如果约翰逊议长在为拜登致命的开放边境提供全额资金后，再为乌克兰边境防御提供600亿美元，那么残酷的笑话将是美国人民。”
一项辞职动议导致约翰逊的前任下台，去年在凯文·麦卡锡。共和党强硬派解除了他的职务，他们同样对他与民主党合作通过立法感到不安，包括去年秋天在最后一刻达成的保持政府开放的协议。
约翰逊一直占据着这个位置从十月份开始。
在采访中，约翰逊还表示，他预计众议院下周休会后将提出一项一揽子计划，其中包括对乌克兰的援助和“一些重要的创新”。
"...谈到补充协议，我们一直在努力达成共识。我们已经和所有成员谈过了，特别是现在地区工作期间。约翰逊说:“当我们在这个工作期结束后回来时，我们将推出一款产品，但我认为它将有一些重要的创新。”
参议院通过了自己版本的950亿美元国家安全补充资金二月。约翰逊预计不会提出这项法案，但他提出了众议院法案可能会有的几个选项。
这房子可以扩建《回购法案》这将使美国总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）有权扣押在美国冻结的俄罗斯主权资产，并将其转移到乌克兰进行重建。
“回购法案，你知道，如果我们可以利用俄罗斯寡头的被扣押资产让乌克兰人与他们战斗，那只是纯粹的诗歌。就连川普总统也谈到了贷款的概念，我们不只是提供外国援助，我们还在建立我们的关系，在适当的时候他们可以向我们提供援助。”约翰逊在福克斯新闻频道上说。
共和党人也在密切关注前总统唐纳德·特朗普提出的“贷款”想法:向乌克兰提供无息贷款援助。
另一个选择是允许天然气出口在2010年后继续拜登政府暂停批准新的液化天然气出口许可今年早些时候研究气候影响。
“然后，你知道，我们希望释放美国的能量。我们希望出口天然气，这将有助于弗拉基米尔·普京在那里的战争。
“你知道，我们应该做很多更有意义的事情，我认为我们会达成共识。我们正在将该产品组装在一起，并将在地区工作期结束后立即进行转移。”他补充道。
House Speaker Johnson calls Greene's move to oust him a 'distraction' for Republicans
House Speaker Mike Johnson is going on the offense in an effort to save his speakership after fellow Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust him just months after he ascended to the position.
The motion to vacate, which was raised just before the chamber broke for recess, is a "distraction" for Republicans, Johnson said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
"I think that all of my other Republican colleagues recognize this is a distraction from our mission," Johnson said. "Again, the mission is to save the Republic. And the only way we can do that is if we grow the House Majority, win the Senate and win the White House. So we don't need any dissension right now.
The House is not expected to take up that resolution, because it was not submitted as "privileged." Johnson said he has been texting with Greene and expects to meet with her early next week when the House returns.
"Marjorie is a friend. She is very frustrated about, for example, the last appropriations bills. Guess what? So am I," Johnson said.
"...With the smallest margin in U.S. history, we're sometimes going to get legislation that we don't like," he added. "And the Democrats know that when we don't all stand together, with our razor-thin majority, then they have a better negotiation position, and that's why we've got some of the things we didn't like."
Greene filed the motion to vacate Johnson after a vote to fund the government to prevent a shutdown -- which Johnson needed Democratic votes to pass. The Georgia Republican called her motion to vacate a "warning," adding that "it's time for our conference to choose a new speaker."
"This is basically a warning and it's time for us to go through the process, take our time and find a new speaker of the House that will stand with Republicans and our Republican majority instead of standing with the Democrats," Greene said.
Greene went after Johnson in a post on X Monday, saying the speaker sided with Democrats on border policy -- part of the spending bill that Johnson endorsed to prevent a government shutdown.
"If Speaker Johnson gives another $60 billion to the defense of Ukraine’s border after he FULLY FUNDED Biden’s deadly open border, the cruel joke would be on the American people," Greene posted on X. "And it won’t be April Fools."
A motion to vacate led to the ouster of Johnson's predecessor, Kevin McCarthy last year. He was removed from the post by Republican hard-liners who were similarly upset that he worked with Democrats to pass legislation, including an eleventh-hour deal to keep the government open last fall.
Johnson has held the position since October.
During the interview, Johnson also said that he expects to move a package including aid for Ukraine with "some important innovations" when the House returns from recess next week.
"...when it comes to the supplemental, we've been working to build that consensus. We've been talking to all the members, especially now over the district work period. When we return after this work period, we'll be moving a product, but it's going to I think, have some important innovations," Johnson said.
The Senate passed its own version of the $95 billion national security supplemental in February. Johnson is not expected to put this bill on the floor, but laid out a few options for what the House bill might look.
The House could tack on the "REPO Act," which would give President Joe Biden authority to seize Russian sovereign assets frozen in the U.S. and transfer them to Ukraine for its reconstruction.
"The REPO Act, you know, if we can use the seized assets of Russian oligarchs to allow the Ukrainians to fight them, that's just pure poetry. Even President Trump has talked about the loan concept where we set up, we're not just giving foreign aid, we are setting up in our relationship where they can provide it back to us when the time is right," Johnson said on Fox News.
Republicans are also taking a closer look at the "loan" idea floated by former President Donald Trump: making aid available to Ukraine as a loan that is waivable with no interest.
Another option would be to allow for natural gas exports to continue after the Biden administration paused approvals of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits earlier this year to examine climate impacts.
"And then, you know, we want to unleash American energy. We want to have natural gas exports that will help unfund Vladimir Putin's war effort there," Johnson said of the Russian president.
"You know, there's a lot of things that we should do that make more sense and that I think we will have consensus around. We're putting that product together and we will be moving it right after the district work period," he added.
