Seeing as this has never happened in US history before… well it’s going to be a clusterfuck that the parliamentarian will no doubt have to weigh in on multiple times.
Rep Jim McGovern has expressed some concerns about the validity of all this:
how would he know?
The speaker pro tempore, which is the official title, can only recess the House, adjourn the chamber and recognize speaker nominations.
I don’t see allocating office space on that list.
It’s funny because this is the best they’ve got. Forcing someone to change their secondary office while they’re away at a funeral. Real inconvenience to the minority leader’s staff. Make America Great Again!

Help me out who’s the first one listed?
Santos
you gonna name names? or just assume we know who those people are?
Santos, Gaetz, Boebert, Greene. These aren’t no name House members.
Maybe you should consider that not everyone is from the U.S.?
But hey, it’s all her fault, so let’s kick her out of her office
She was supposed to move out 10 months ago. She still has her normal office with every other House Rep in another building.
So no, it’s not her office.
You’re very opinionated for not reading the article you posted tho
No… she wasn’t.
It is her office, or at least it was.
There are a number of unlisted offices that can be assigned. It is customary to allow a Speaker to retain one of these if they leave that role.
Maybe you’re the one that should do some actual research?
or at least it was
Right it was…
Then, it wasn’t.
She doesn’t get to keep it indefinitely, and 10 months seems long enough to move out.
How much longer did you want them to wait?
It is customary to allow a Speaker to retain one of these if they leave that role.
If that’s true, I googled and can only see Pelosi’s recent claims:
Well, now there’s a new ex-speaker…
How many ex-speakers get an office in the Capitol Building?
Do you think McCarthy and Pelosi should share?
Do we take someone else’s office so they can both have one?
Just take two seconds and think about it
There are multiple offices. No one is sharing.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about. It is a long-standing tradition for the former speaker to maintain an office after their term. Pelosi allowed the speaker before her to maintain an office, for example.
This is just being done out of spite. Petty nonsense.
Mate, we got our representation capped because we ran out of space…
There’s not infinite office space in the Capitol Building, that’s why House office are in an adjoing building.
It’s not rocket appliances
Mate, we got our representation capped because we ran out of space…
BS. Representation got capped because capping it benefited those in power.
It’s easy to allocate more representative to more seats, it’s easy to allocate more office space to more representatives - even if it’s not necessarily in the same building.
This issue has come up in a multitude of nations, and everyone has managed to solve this puzzle - and you expect people to believe that “the greatest nation on earth” can’t do it, because there’s apparently a finite amount of fucking office space in America??
Are you under the impression there are only two offices in the building?
Petty nonsense. I’m sure that will help the gop base to live better lives.
Another example of how Republicans gain power and immediately try to do stuff then worry if theyre allowed.
While Dems get power and spend years deciding if they can do something before trying, and sometimes it still gets shut down and by then they’ve wasted too much time.
I wish Dems tried as hard as Republicans. When only one sides does stuff like this, it makes a fight pretty lopsided. Because Dems have to spend all their time undoing what republicans just did.
It puts us constantly on the defensive and why we’ve been slowly drifting to the right for decades now.
You think that the Democrats not changing the locks on office doors out of spite makes them weak?
No, I think Pelosi saying
her replacement gotthe person she replaced getting an extra 30 days longer than she’s had is kind of pointless, and that extra 30 days would only be if he kept the office up to his resignation…She’s had the extra office for 10 months now…
That’s more than enough time to move out.
It’s nowhere close to the most important issue right now, but it is a legitimate point that she should have been out long ago.
Fuck republicans. I’m so sick of this. What a bunch of brain dead crybabies.
I feel like the one overriding tenet of the Republican party used to be party loyalty, but now they are all convinced that means the party should be loyal to it’s members, not the other way around. So while now the party can’t even hold a speaker and is fulll of infighting, you still see these petty anti-loyalty attacks like this.
I’d feel like it was more cutting if they weren’t constantly attacking each other as well.
