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.

    The American language is reductive to the point of being inaccurate or at worse, downright wrong. Born from this nature is the reason they use the phrase “deplane” whereas the rest of the world uses “disembark”.

      I have never heard anyone use the word deplane before I read your comment. I’ve heard disembark plenty, but it’s a little formal usually it’s just get your ass off the plane.
