       For more than a month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has dangled the possibility of forcing a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, and has been leading a public charge to try and make that a reality.

       However, the Georgia Republican has come up short of calling for a vote on a motion to vacate.

       May 6: Greene meets with Johnson again Greene does not immediately call a vote when the House resumes its session. At Greene's request, she meets with Johnson for more than two hours.

       May 7: Greene gives Johnson list of demands Greene and Massie meet with Johnson for a second time in as many days. The meeting lasts about 90 minutes. Following this meeting, Greene says she's giving the speaker time to meet her list of four demands: no future funding for Ukraine; implementing the Hastert rule, which states the majority of the majority must support any bill; defunding special counsels and passing a continuing resolution to enact a 1% spending cut if not all 12 appropriation bills are passed individually.

       The congresswoman did not impose a deadline for when the speaker must get back to her.
