THE SPEAKER of the House also has a full house at home.
Mike Johnson's children mostly live private lives, but a few of the Louisiana native's kids have made headlines.
Who are Mike Johnson's children?
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has four biological children and an adopted son.
His children are Hannah, 23, Abigail, 21, Jack, 18, and Will, 12, along with their adopted son Michael Johnson, 40.
Little is known about his biological children, but Mike opened up about his adopted son, Michael T. James, to The New York Times.
He said raising a Black son helped shape his views on race.

He told a House committee in 2019, "I have walked with him through discrimination that he has had to endure over the years and the hurdles he sometimes faced."
"I know all this because I was with him."
Mike met the younger Michael in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1996.
In 1999, when the boy was 14 years old, Mike and his wife took the teenager in and filed adoption papers when he became homeless.

However, the Johnsons moved to Shreveport, and Michael, who was legally an adult by this time, was on his own again in 2002.
Since 2003, James has been arrested more than a dozen times, according to The Post.
The charges against him ranged from drug possession, theft, possession of a concealed weapon, and violating a protective order.
The Speaker told The Post, "I believe God intended for Michael to be a part of our lives. Kelly and I have always seen him as one of our own."
"Despite any mistakes he’s made, we love Michael and are blessed to have him in our family."
The younger Michael told the DailyMail, "If the Johnsons hadn’t taken me in as a teenager, my life would look very different today."
"I would probably be in prison or I might not have made it at all."
