Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has warned Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene would cause "chaos" in Congress by forcing a vote to remove him from his position.

Louisiana Republican Johnson angered Georgia Republican Greene by working with Democrats to pass a bill to fund the government and avert a shutdown last month after months of stalled negotiations on the legislation.

A staunch conservative, Greene has introduced a non-privileged motion to vacate against Johnson over the legislation and on Tuesday doubled down on her threats to bring the motion to a vote.

Greene forcing a vote on the motion to vacate would leave Johnson in a perilous position due to the Republicans' narrow majority in the House of Representatives. He could afford only two detractors from his own party, meaning his fate would likely be left in the hands of whether Democrats vote to save his speakership.
