It argued that the Speaker\u2019s actions were politically motivated, citing the landmark Supreme Court ruling Powell v. McCormack, which bars the House from excluding a duly elected and qualified member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson denied those claims, calling the lawsuit a \u201cpublicity stunt\u201d and saying the delay was procedural, linked to the House recess and ongoing government funding negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson will swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva of Arizona\u2019s 7th Congressional District, ending weeks of delay that led to a federal lawsuit over her seating.
