Truly the most important thing the interim House speaker should be focusing on right now - petty bullshit while someone is mourning a colleague. /s

This seems kinda dumb to report on at the moment.

No actual journalism done to dig into this to see why. Maybe he just wanted the office, or maybe he's being political and trying to piss of the dems.

Without additional information, we have no idea if this is a sign of something, or a big nothing burger.

Except he did know that Pelosi was out of town; she didn't vote on the motion to vacate, after all. Furthermore, she is out of town for a rather high-profile funeral. Even if he was within his powers to order this (which is debatable), and he had a valid reason, he could have waited until she came back to do this.
