House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is leading Republican lawmakers in proposing a rule change that could make it harder to oust him and future Speakers.
Under the proposed measure, the threshold for initiating a motion to vacate would be raised, requiring nine members of the majority party to co-sponsor the motion. Republicans currently dominate the lower chamber.
As it stands currently, only one member needs to bring a no-confidence vote to remove a Speaker after former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) agreed to a prior rule change.
Nine months later, the deal led to McCarthy’s downfall after he relied on the votes of House Democrats to temporarily avert a government shutdown. It was the first time in U.S. history a House speaker was ousted by such a motion.
House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana has faced similar issues as McCarthy and has had to rely on Democratic votes to pass legislation, angering conservatives who have threatened to remove him. Though Republicans in November backed him for another term leading the party, it’s unclear whether he’ll have the necessary votes on Friday. No serious challenger to Johnson has emerged, however.
“There’s no other alternative for Speaker of the House, guys. There’s not another name circulated, there’s no other candidate proposed, because everyone knows that I’m the only one who can get the votes,” Johnson said in recent interview with a Louisiana radio station.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
