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.

    Now this has me curious. What’s considered “the pole”? Is it literally the line coming out from exactly center (or whatever relative features for the specific shape of the moon)? Or if you’re within like 10 ft can you say you landed there? How far off can you be and still be on the pole?

      Usually people would consider within a few degrees (1? 2? Certainly less than 5) to be an acceptable margin, but the pole itself is a well-defined point along the axis of rotation.
