House Speaker Mike Johnson's Plans for Future Legislation

Responsibilities and Expectations

- Plans include two or three reconciliation bills focusing on partisan support.
Fiscal Responsibility

Codifying Executive Orders
- Republicans will work on codifying Trump’s executive orders.

Electoral Strategy
