House returns with Johnson's speakership under threat

The House is back in session Tuesday after a two-week-long Easter recess, and Speaker Mike Johnson is returning with his speakership under threat after fellow Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust him just months after he ascended to the position.

The Georgia Republican filed a motion to vacate Johnson just before the chamber broke for recess. She made the move after a vote to fund the government to prevent a shutdown -- which Johnson needed Democratic votes to pass.

Greene called her motion to vacate a "warning," adding that "it's time for our conference to choose a new speaker."

In the last few weeks, Greene's criticism of Johnson has only grown -- accusing him of working closely with Democrats and shifting away from Republican ideals when it comes to providing aid to Ukraine.

On Monday, she called him a "Democratic Speaker" because of his propensity to lean on Democrats to pass legislation.
