John Boehner to resign as speaker, leave House
Republican House Speaker John Boehner announced Friday that he would step down from his post as the country’s No. 3 elected official and leave Congress effective Oct. 30. The bombshell announcement came a day after Boehner fulfilled his two-decade dream to host the pope at the Capitol.
