Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.
She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.
An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”
Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.
I thought she retired, why does she have an office? Or was that just as speaker but she’s still in Congress?
Still in the house just not the speaker. Apparently it’s a tradition that former speakers are allowed to have larger offices out of respect. But a lot of Republicans just love to hate Nancy Pelosi.

I don’t think she’s a “terrible person” she’s definitely not perfect; she’s done things I agree with and she’s done things I disagree with, sometimes vehemently disagree with. There are Democrats that I think are despicable (Bob Menendez for example) and Republicans that I didn’t share views with but I thought were completely honorable people (former senator Flake for example). I try not to see politics as a team competitive sport. I try to see it as an exercise in cooperative disagreement.

You say that as if you actually know me. I’m willing to bet that the picture you have of me in your mind is very inaccurate.

So cool. Then you also think Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Vernon, Don Beyer, and Dean Philips are so much worse, right? The more money, the more terrible they are, right? Then you also have Rick Scott, Mark Warner, Mitt Romney, and Mike Braun. All terrible people even though you possibly only know two facts about them.

Statements like this prove how dumb the average person is.
Who gives a shit what kind of person she is? I only care about what kind of job my politicians are doing. None of them are golden gods.
“Who cares that our politicians are terrible people, just as long as they benefit me!”
Then stop treating them like golden gods.
Is there an official office for house speaker?
Probably not, since it’s a role for a representative, not a separate job.
But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t an unofficial office.
Technically it doesn’t have to be a representative, but it always has been to my knowledge.
That’s a great question and I did a little cursory research but I couldn’t find anything.
Yes, she only retired as speaker, she’s still a regular member of Congress.
