Boehner Resigns From Congress

Well we now have a good idea as to why the Boehner was such a crybaby yesterday during Pope Francis' visit and speech to Congress. This announcement is long over due Boehner should have been ousted years ago. One thing is for sure another progressive cannot be permitted to become Speaker. Louie Gohmert or Trey Gowdy wold be good choices as his replacement. Kevin McCarthy would be very bad as he is part of the progressive machine and do nothing signature of the GOP.

I have nothing good to say about John Boehner, he, IMO has helped put the US further into debt, divide the nation on many issues and weaponized the office he holds/held against those who are/ were standing for the American people. Take note under his leadership we still have no closure or accountability over Fast & Furious, IRS and many other scandals, Eric Holder was never dealt with for being in contempt of Congress and last but not least no answers or accountability on Benghazi (which includes Clinton's emailgate). Frankly I could go on and on about all of Boehner's failures and divisiveness but I will simply end with this....

Statement by House Speaker John Boehner
September 25, 2015|Speaker Boehner's Press Office
WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement:

"My mission every day is to fight for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government. Over the last five years, our majority has advanced conservative reforms that will help our children and their children. I am proud of what we have accomplished.

"The first job of any Speaker is to protect this institution that we all love. It was my plan to only serve as Speaker until the end of last year, but I stayed on to provide continuity to the Republican Conference and the House. It is my view, however, that prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable damage to the institution. To that end, I will resign the Speakership and my seat in Congress on October 30.

"Today, my heart is full with gratitude for my family, my colleagues, and the people of Ohio’s Eighth District. God bless this great country that has given me - the son of a bar owner from Cincinnati - the chance to serve."
