As of the morning of Wednesday, March 13, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have already collected more than 160 signatures for a petition that will allow the aid package for Ukraine to be put to a vote, bypassing Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. UNN reports this with reference to the petition website. 

Details 

So far, 169 congressmen have signed the petition.

According to Reuters, the petition could force a vote on the bill if it is signed by at least 218 members of the House of Representatives - a majority of the 435 members eligible to vote. 

Addendum

A spokesman for Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, said that on Tuesday morning he prepared a so-called discharge petition that could force the House to vote on a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
