WASHINGTON (TND) — The House of Representatives swiftly voted down far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's effort to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson from the speakership, voting 359-43 to table the ouster motion.

Overwhelming majorities of both Republicans and Democrats voted to permanently delay the motion, with 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats voting to prevent a return to the abject chaos the House saw in October after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed from the podium, becoming the first House leader in U.S. history to be forcibly removed from the top job.

Greene triggered the vote Wednesday afternoon, attempting to bring about the next step in a parliamentary procedure she began weeks ago.

She filed a motion to vacate the chair against Johnson, who was elected Speaker in late October following McCarthy's ouster by the same procedure, in late March after the House successfully passed a $1.2 trillion spending package to avert a government shutdown. In echoes of Rep. Matt Gaetz's, R-Fla., professed rationale for ousting McCarthy, Greene said that Johnson had betrayed conservative principles and the House Republican Conference by agreeing to such a large spending bill and relying on Democratic votes to pass the legislation.

"No Republican in good conscience can vote for the uniparty minibus. This is not a Republican bill," she wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "It is a Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the “Republican-controlled” House. The Speaker of the House should not bring it to the floor."

Greene gained support in the intervening weeks from a pair of fellow far-right House members, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., after Johnson brought long-delayed foreign aid funding to support Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to the House floor over the objection of many conservatives in his conference.

"Our border cannot be an afterthought. We need a Speaker who puts America first rather than bending to the reckless demands of the warmongers, neocons, and the military-industrial complex making billions from a costly and endless war half a world away," Gosar said in a statement to The Hill.

Greene threatened to bring her ouster resolution to the floor last Wednesday but had been meeting with Johnson earlier this week in what were believed to be negotiations over her scrapping the motion to vacate. In an explanation of her terms on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast Tuesday, she claimed she was demanding a rule change that would prevent the speaker from bringing any legislation to the House floor that did not have the support of a majority of his conference -- what is known as the Hastert Rule -- as well as a bevy of far-right political priorities. Those included a guarantee for no further funding for Ukraine and the immediate defunding -- and de facto end -- of Special Counsel Jack Smith's continued investigations and prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.

“This is what people all over the country are screaming for,” Greene said on Bannon’s podcast. “They want to see this vote.”

Many of Greene's colleagues in Congress did not, if not apparent from the bipartisan opposition that emerged in recent weeks to the chorus of boos from around the House chamber that accompanied Greene's triggering of the privileged revolution (meaning the House had to consider it immediately).

While some of her fellow Republicans expressed anonymous yet forceful disdain for her plot -- one telling Axios her ouster attempt was "very disruptive" -- some of the most vocal opposition came from across the aisle as House Democratic leadership moved last week to offer their full support of the speaker (in this context).

“We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said in a statement.

"We want to turn the page. We don't want to turn the clock back and allow Marjorie Taylor Greene to control the schedule and the calendar of what's ahead," Aguilar said at a news conference last Wednesday.

For now, both parties in the House have agreed to turn that page.
