The article discusses Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's recent behavior, which appears more aligned with President Trump than with the independence expected of his role. Johnson has taken actions like removing the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee at Trump's request and accompanied Trump and Vice President Vance in a manner reminiscent of a staff member. His enthusiastic endorsement of Trump's actions, including controversial decisions regarding emergency management and the firing of inspectors general, highlights concerns over the autonomy of the legislative branch and the implications for congressional authority.
Speaker Mike Johnson's recent actions suggest he is acting more like a junior partner to President Trump rather than an autonomous leader of the legislative branch.
Johnson's support for Trump's controversial moves, such as firing inspectors general without notice, raises questions about the independence of Congress.
