U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday moved to oust fellow Republican Mike Johnson from his role as speaker of the House, as the body passed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills to avoid a partial government shutdown.

Taylor Greene, a firebrand Republican from Georgia, filed a motion to vacate amid the ultimately successful vote on the spending package.

Speaking to reporters after the spending bill vote, Taylor Greene called her filing of the motion a "warning" to Johnson, noting that she did not immediately seek recognition for a vote on the motion and would not on Friday.

The House is headed for a two-week recess, meaning that Greene's "warning" will continue to hang over Johnson - and the wider GOP contingent -  in the interim. The motion must be considered within two days of Greene being recognized, but the clock does not start until that point.

Taylor Greene had previously voiced displeasure with Johnson, saying that she was "done" with the Louisiana lawmaker, who won the gavel less than five months ago amid another wave of GOP infighting that saw the historic ouster of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and left the House without a speaker for weeks.

Johnson dismissed CNN's request for a comment with a wave, the outlet reported.

"Speaker Johnson always listens to the concerns of members but is focused on governing," said Raj Shah, the speaker's spokesman, according to the Associated Press. "He will continue to push conservative legislation that secures our border, strengthens our national defense and demonstrates how we'll grow our majority." 

The Capitol Hill chaos unfolded as the House took a vote on a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills just hours before funding for some federal agencies was set to lapse. 

The package passed by a vote of 286-134, sending it to the Senate.
