Massie Shares Full Text of MTG’s Resolution to Strip Johnson’s Gavel

Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) have worked tirelessly for weeks to hold House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) accountable. We have been working on this. On Wednesday, they took action.

As Mr. Massey later said, the pair pulled the trigger on Wednesday night to force a vote on the motion to “remove the United Party chairman.”

Greene read the resolution aloud on the floor before Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) forced a vote to introduce it.

A whopping 163 Democrats voted 359 to 43 to continue the coalition with Johnson.

After the vote, Massey shared the text of Greene’s resolution, but was jeered and interrupted by Greene, who referred to him as a “unity party.”

The full text of the resolution condemning Johnson’s record is below:

H.RES. 1209

Declares the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives vacant.

At the House of Representatives Building

May 8, 2024

Ms. Green of Georgia introduced the following resolution: This was referred to the Rules Committee.

solution

Declares the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives vacant.

Meanwhile, the House Republican Conference elected Mike Johnson on October 25, 2023, after three and a half weeks of deciding on a new Speaker of the House.

Meanwhile, Mike Johnson sent a letter to the Republican Conference pledging what type of speaker he would be and outlining his plans going forward. Mike Johnson proposed seven principles to guide your meetings as a speaker.

1. Restore trust by ensuring full transparency, open processes, and regular order.

2. Promote a comprehensive policy agenda supported by conference agreements.

3. Elevate individual members and, by extension, the team as a whole, by working to understand and highlight each member’s unique strengths, district trends and challenges, and personal goals and objectives.

4. Engage members in productive working groups to develop solutions in key policy areas and enhance internal communication and team building.

5. An effective way to convincingly communicate to the Republican base and the American people our policy agenda, why we pursue it, and how it will ensure freedom, opportunity, and security for Americans. send a message.

6. Build and leverage external coalitions in the conservative ecosphere, including think tanks, policy groups, and other coalition organizations that can contribute to our efforts.

7. Develop and grow the majority by building on resources and expanding the base to successfully advance the conservative vision and agenda.

Speaker Johnson, on the other hand, has not lived up to any of his self-imposed beliefs.

Meanwhile, in exchange for “full transparency, an open process and orderly order,” Johnson granted the chamber only one day instead of 72 hours to consider the 1,000-plus page bill, which cannot be amended. There wasn’t.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson “worked with Democrats, not Republicans, to craft appropriations provisions, NDAA provisions, and other legislative matters to understand and highlight each member’s unique strengths.” [engage with] they. “

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson relied on the support of the Democratic majority to pass a two-part omnibus spending bill, rather than “advance the policy agenda supported by the conference’s consensus.”

Meanwhile, on December 1, 2023, Speaker Johnson allowed a plurality vote to remove another Republican from the House, failing to protect the Republican majority. It was unprecedented for a member to be removed from parliament by a two-thirds vote before being convicted of a crime. To date, no Republican expelled from the House under Speaker Johnson has been convicted. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party currently holds the seat.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson prefers fully funding abortion, transgender issues, climate issues, foreign wars, and Biden’s border crisis over “ensuring freedom, opportunity, and safety for all Americans.” I supported it.

Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson has relied on Democratic votes at least twice, with the first violation occurring on March 22, 2024, when the House passed H.Res. 1102 – Part 2 of the Johnson/Schumer Omnibus – and his second violation occurred on April 20, 2024, when the HR 8035-$61 billion Ukraine funding bill was passed by the House of Representatives. In both cases, a “majority of the majority” (112 Republicans) voted against the measure, while only 101 voted for it.

Meanwhile, before Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker, our conference passed seven spending bills, and these were some of the strongest conservative bills passed in decades. Chairman Johnson refused to continue this important process. Instead, he led us to another CR on January 18, 2024, which passed with the support of 207 Democrats and only 107 Republicans, with 106 Republicans voting no.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson passed a third CR, this time calling it a “process CR,” as if Nancy Pelosi’s budget continuation was different from previous CRs.

Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson passed the first minibus appropriations bill on March 6th, with almost no contact with our conference, and the second minibus appropriations bill two weeks later on March 22nd. It was approved.

Meanwhile, the two-part omnibus, which was divided into two minibuses, was packed and passed under a suspension of regulations, with a review of the regulations for only one day.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson’s general election did nothing to stop Biden’s deadly border invasion, fully funded. Mike Johnson did nothing to stop the energy-consuming Green New Deal climate plan. He fully funded it. He did nothing to stop the weaponized Justice Department and FBI. He fully funded them. He did nothing to stop transgender issues for children. He fully funded it. He did nothing to prevent full-term abortions. He fully funded the abortion. He did nothing to stop fomenting perpetual war abroad. He fully funded the war.

Meanwhile, on April 18, 2024, the Rules Committee passed H.Res. Rule 1160, which provides for consideration of a $95 billion foreign financing package, passed on a 9-3 vote. Notably, all Democrats on the committee voted to advance the bill to the floor, while three Republicans opposed it. It is unprecedented for members of the minority party to advance a resolution outside of the Rules Committee. Since 1995, there have been several instances in which rules were enacted outside of committee with minority support. However, H.Res. 1160 is the only time this was done to avoid opposition from the majority party.

Meanwhile, the last time a House-passed appropriations bill did not include a “majority majority” was the final passage of the House Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill for fiscal year 2015 in the 114th Congress. Several months after this failure, Chairman Boehner announced his resignation.

Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson said on “Dear Colleagues” on January 26, 2024, that the Senate’s supplemental bill and border security bill were “dead on arrival in the House.” Similarly, in January 2024, House Speaker Johnson visited the U.S.-Mexico border and said, “If President Biden wants a supplemental spending bill focused on national security, he should start by protecting America’s national security.” ” he said.

Meanwhile, in the months following his border visit, Johnson introduced an additional $95 billion in foreign aid that does not involve border security.

On the other hand, excuses such as “this is the way to govern in a divided government” are pathetic, weak, and unacceptable. Even if our Republican majority is very thin, at least secure the border because it is the nation’s No. 1 issue and the issue that has caused Mr. Biden to trail President Trump in the polls. I could have done it.

Meanwhile, Chairman Johnson reneged on his promise to secure the border after Laken Riley was brutally murdered, women and children were raped by illegal alien monsters, and Border Patrol and Texas National Guard troops were overrun by hordes of troops. was. Elderly illegal aliens.

On the other hand, great laws like HR 2 and the Laken Riley Act are just message bills unless we fight to implement them in government funding bills.

Mike Johnson, on the other hand, was a strong advocate of individual liberty during his time on the House Judiciary Committee, serving as chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. Despite his background as a civil liberties advocate, Mike Johnson on April 12, 2024 opposed requiring a warrant to query Americans’ Section 702 data under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). cast the deciding vote.

On the other hand, our conference could also fund the transgender agenda on abortion and children if our chair had allowed us to introduce an amendment. Instead, Mike Johnson worked with Chuck Schumer, not the conference, and gave Joe Biden and the Democratic Party everything they wanted. This is no different than what House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries would have done.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Johnson fully funded Special Counsel Jack Smith’s witch hunt and 91-count indictment against Republican presidential candidate President Trump. House Republicans could have used our financial resources to block this, but Speaker Johnson did not let us do so.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s weaponized Justice Department is arresting new protesters of the Jan. 6 election every day, arresting nonviolent political opponents including veterans, mothers and fathers, and grandparents for years. I’m in jail.

Meanwhile, our Pro-Life Christian Conservative Republican Party Chairman Mike Johnson has paid the full amount to the Department of Justice, which is prosecuting and convicting peaceful pro-life activists who are facing 11 years in prison. Once again, Republicans refused to introduce amendments to stop these injustices.

On the other hand, only actions matter, and words have no meaning unless they are followed through. By handcuffing the Republican Party’s ability to pass the Democratic agenda and influence legislation, elected Republican Party Chairman Mike Johnson has aided and abetted the destruction of our country by the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration.

On the other hand, firing the United Party chair will not hand the speaker’s gavel to the Democrats, which will only happen if Republicans actually vote for Hakeem Jeffries. In fact, Minority Leader Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democratic leaders have vowed to save Mike Johnson from being voted out. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a recent interview: “Even though we are a minority…we have effectively governed as if we were a majority.” .

Meanwhile, our nation is nearly $35 trillion in debt, and about $40 billion is added to the debt every day. Our borders are overrun by illegal invaders and terrorists from more than 160 countries. Fentanyl kills hundreds of our people every day. And Mike Johnson refused to do anything about it.

Mike Johnson, on the other hand, is not equipped to handle the demanding job of Speaker of the House of Representatives, giving full control of Congress to the Unionist Party, which incites foreign wars, tramples on civil liberties, and increases the dire national debt. I allowed it to happen. House of Representatives.

Speaker Johnson’s tenure, on the other hand, will be defined by certain self-interested characteristics. When faced with the choice of advancing Republican priorities or allying with Democrats to maintain personal power, Johnson always chooses to ally with Democrats.

Therefore, even if resolved now, the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant.
