Numerous sources have said that this is a deliberate act of revenge by Republicans because Democrats didn't jump in to save McCarthy's speaker role. More are expected to come. This has got to rank up there with McConnell blaming Obama when one of his own bills blows up in his face, saying it's Obama's fault for not warning them hard enough even after they overrode his veto.
Of course, they're so far doing nothing to the 8 Republicans who, you know, actually voted to remove McCarthy. Or Matt Gaetz, who started all this shit in the first place. Instead, they're taking their frustrations out on a couple of 80+ year old representatives out of spite.
I also haven't found out where this clown even has the authority to order this. His powers are literally only limited to recognizing the next nominee for Speaker, holding the vote, and sending the House to recess. I am unsure why both of these people haven't just told him where he can shove his orders.
Rep Jim McGovern has expressed some concerns about the validity of all this:
