<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday outlined a roadmap for congressional Republicans over the next years and a half, following their successful passage of the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; championed by President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>During an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375610110112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, Johnson said Republicans have a &#8220;responsibility of fixing every metric of public policy&#8221; that the Democrats &#8220;destroyed&#8221; over the four years of the Biden-Harris administration. The speaker also contended that members of his party are &#8220;implementing a playbook&#8221; designed to take advantage of the GOP controlling the House, Senate, and White House using the budget reconciliation process that allows them to bypass the filibuster.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, the &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; was the first big step in that. But we have multiple steps ahead of us. We have long planned for at least two, possibly three reconciliation bills, one in the fall and one next spring that would continue to allow us to do this on a partisan basis, where we only need Republican votes and we don&#8217;t have to drag Democrats along. They are in no appetite to fix any of the mess. We have to do it ourselves. So yes, that&#8217;s next,&#8221; Johnson said.</p>
<p>He added, &#8220;In addition to that, we will continue to get the country back on a path to fiscal responsibility by rescissions packages that will come from the White House that we’ll enact, and claw back spending and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, in the multiple reconciliation packages, and in appropriating at lower levels of funding. All these things will be done while we&#8217;re codifying more of President Trump&#8217;s executive orders. He&#8217;s been very busy. We will be as well. We have a lot more work ahead of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Congress passed the final version of the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which aims to fulfill many of Trump’s spending and tax-cut goals of his second term, by narrow margins. It did so without the support of any Democrats and a couple of GOP holdouts who begrudged its cuts to Medicaid and raised concerns about the debt. Within the legislation&#8217;s hundreds of pages, Johnson said, were provisions that already cemented dozens of the president&#8217;s executive orders.</p>
<p>&#8220;Almost 30 of them were included in the &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8217; So that was a lawmaking exercise; the president has now signed them into law and they&#8217;re codified. So it&#8217;s not a temporary thing, they&#8217;ll be permanent in the law. And we&#8217;ve done a number, about 15 or 20 additional executive orders that we&#8217;ve already codified in the House. We&#8217;ll continue that process. We wanted to get as many of them as we could into the reconciliation package because we knew that we were certain that that would actually be signed into law and it wouldn&#8217;t just be a feel-good exercise,&#8221; Johnson said.</p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;So more of that will continue going forward. The president&#8217;s been one of the most prolific, I think arguably the most successful president in the first six months of this term than any previous president. Look how many things have been accomplished. A lot of it has been done through executive order, so Congress has its role to play now as well.&#8221;</p>
