House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) confirmed that he will resign from his leadership role and his seat in Congress on Oct. 30 in a statement.
Read his comments released on Friday:
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.
Who’s gonna be first to make a “Miss Me Yet?” gif for him?
He actually used the word “children”? That usually triggers the water works from poor old John.
