House Republican leaders are considering using debate over a $95 billion foreign aid package to add language that would raise the threshold required to vacate the speakership, Punchbowl News reported.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Tuesday he's co-sponsoring a motion by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to vacate the chair and remove Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., from his position. Greene hasn't sought a vote yet.

To avoid further chaos in the chamber, House Republican leadership is discussing embedding language in the rule for debating the foreign aid legislation that would raise the threshold needed to file motions to vacate, Punchbowl News reported Thursday.Though a change in the rules could secure his position, Johnson undoubtedly would further anger conservatives if he agrees to it.

During a recent staff meeting in the speaker’s office, Johnson was told by an aide he has "FISA , Ukraine and the speakership," and that he can't have all three, Punchbowl News reported.
