Apparently a post-9/11 House rule requires the Speaker to provide a private list of who is to succeed him to the House Clerk. McHenry must have been at the top. He is a known ally of McCarthy's
So temporary Speaker McHenry has very limited powers. But he took advantage of one power, to evict Nancy Pelosi from her Capitol office....while she is in California attending Dianne Feinstein's funeral. This will surely solve all of the Republican's problems.
Seriously, explain to me, why every Republican in leadership finds it necessary to be petty and vindictive? Another piece of evidence that shows the world that Republicans in Congress are unable to put GOVERNING above pettiness
NEWS - As one of his first acts as the acting speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday
