I'm sorry, what? "Removed them" on whose say-so? On what basis?
They can't tell anyone what to do unless and until they elect a Speaker.
I'm calling bullshit on this. Change my mind.
The lack of actual news stories making this claim backs me up here, I'd say.
Um, read the story. That's in the RULES PACKAGE, which hasn't been passed and CANNOT BE until a Speaker is elected.
Bad reporting by Axios. There is no set of rules in place for the so-far unseated 118th Congress.
The ONLY thing they can do in the House is vote on a Speaker, the end. The members cannot even be SWORN IN.

I will bet you any amount of money on it. Removing them is IMPOSSIBLE, no one's currently in any position to order anyone to do such a thing..
This is something akin to claiming that a report on Kevin's moving his shit into the Speaker's office means he's the Speaker of the House.
