Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who is the temporary Speaker of the House, has ordered Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by tomorrow.

“Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,” an email to Pelosi’s office said, according to POLITICO. The email said that the room will now be “for speaker office use.”

McHenry became acting speaker after House Democrats sided with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and seven other Republicans — Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Ken Buck (CO), Eli Crane (AZ), Bob Good (VA), Matt Rosendale (MT), Tim Burchett (TN), and Nancy Mace (SC) — to oust McCarthy from his speakership.

It was the first time in U.S. history that the House has removed a speaker.
