Michael Godek/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday quashed rumors he was considering changes to make it more difficult to oust him from his leadership post, after Republican hard-liners warned it was a "red line" he shouldn’t cross.Johnson, in a statement posted to X, criticized the current rule allowing a single member to offer a motion to vacate the speaker s chair as having "harmed" the office and the party s majority in the House but said it will stand for now."Recently, many members have encouraged me to endorse a new rule to raise this threshold," he said. "While I understand the importance of that idea, any rule change requires a majority of the full House, which we do not have. We will continue to govern under the existing rules."Throughout the day, the party s right flank had sought assurances Johnson would not consider a change to the threshold to advance a motion to vacate.Rep.
