Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, D.C., to immediately move her belongings.
바카라 게임 웹사이트With all of the important decisions that the new Republican Leadership must address, which we are all eagerly awaiting, one of the first actions taken by the new Speaker Pro Tempore was to order me to immediately vacate my office in the Capitol,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the California Democrat said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Sadly, because I am in California to mourn the loss of and pay tribute to my dear friend Dianne Feinstein, I am unable to retrieve my belongings at this time.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Feinstein, whose three decades in the Senate made her the longest-serving female U.S. senator in history, died last week at age 90 following months of declining health. She will lie in state at San Francisco City Hall on Wednesday ahead of funeral services Thursday.

바카라 게임 웹사이트Office space doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let바카라 게임 웹사이트s hope they get to work on what바카라 게임 웹사이트s truly important for the American people.바카라 게임 웹사이트
CNN has reached out to McHenry for comment.
House Republican leadership also kicked Rep. Steny Hoyer out of his Capitol hideaway office, his office confirmed to CNN on Wednesday.
A Republican aide for the House Administration Committee, which oversees office spaces, told CNN this was not a request made by the committee.
As speaker pro tempore, McHenry바카라 게임 웹사이트s official title, the congressman will preside over the vote and selection of the House바카라 게임 웹사이트s next speaker, with the ability to recess the chamber, adjourn it and recognize speaker nominations.
Kevin McCarthy as speaker was required to submit a confidential list to the clerk of people 바카라 게임 웹사이트in the order in which each shall act as Speaker pro tempore in the case of a vacancy,바카라 게임 웹사이트 according to House rules. McHenry, a strong ally of McCarthy, was the top name on that list.
