 '''John Andrew Boehner''' (pronounced "BAY-ner"), born November 17, 1949 (age {{age|1949|11|17}}), was the [[Republican]] U.S. Representative from [[Ohio]]'s 8th congressional district until October 31, 2015 and served as [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives]] until October 29, 2015, succeeding [[Nancy Pelosi]]. He was elected Majority Leader in February 2006 upon the resignation of [[Tom DeLay]] because of allegations of campaign fundraising irregularities, and Minority Leader from 2007 until 2011. Mostly a figurehead, he has repeatedly allowed [[liberals]] to advance their agenda despite a Republican majority in the House.

 ==Career==
-Boehner was born to a German Catholic family in [[Cincinnati]]; he was the second of 12 children. After working in his family restaurant he graduated from Xavier University in 1977.  Fresh out of college Boehner joined Nucite Sales, a small plastics sales company.

He was elected to local offices and served in the state legislature, 1984-90. In 1990 he was elected to Congress from the suburban-rural district north of Cincinnati; it is a Republican stronghold, giving [[George W.

 Following the [[2010 Midterm Elections|2010 congressional elections]] Republicans gained control of the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] from the [[Democrat]]s. Boehner had a strongly [[conservative]] voting record on all major issues, and his successes had been interpreted as a watershed moment in the revival of American conservatism. However, like many others who came before him, Boehner has recently showed signs of abandoning his principles and constituents in favor of "bipartisan compromise," which, of course, means caving to the demands of liberals. One such prominent issue on which he has done this is with the so-called "fiscal cliff" that will supposedly occur at the end of 2012. True conservatives such as [[Mark Levin]] have called Boehner out for this and for punishing Republicans who refuse to compromise and thus break their promises to their constituents.<ref>[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/12/04/mark_levin_rips_boehner_who_the_hell_does_he_think_he_is.html Mark Levin Rips Boehner: Who The Hell Does He Think He Is?], [[Real Clear Politics]]</ref>

-Soon after he was first elected, Boehner helped to expose the [[House banking scandal]], which revealed that many members were essentially writing bad checks. From 1995 to 1999, he was the House Republican Conference Chairman. He was the Chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee from 2001 until 2006, when he resigned to become House Majority Leader. Boehner is widely credited with championing the [[Bill Clinton#1994 Republican Revolution|1994 Contract With America]], the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, and the passage of "[[No Child Left Behind]] Act." After Republicans lost control of the House in November 2006, Boehner was elected by his colleagues to serve as House Minority Leader. Boehner takes a conservative position on most issues. He has worked to lower income and inheritance taxes, arguing, "Americans are being taxed almost every moment of their lives.

-In the 111th Congress, Boehner was successful in persuading the Republican leadership to unanimously vote against [[Barack Obama]]'s $787 billion [[economic stimulus package]]. In 2009, Boehner offered an equivalent to a [[filibuster]] when he spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page [[cap and trade]] [[climate change]] bill that was amended less than a day before the House of Representatives voted on it. Critics argue it would impose a national energy tax, which would result in job loses, and raise [[electricity]] bills. When asked why he read portions of the bill, he told the Hill newspaper, "People deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t." <ref>[http://thehill.com/homenews/house/48037-boehner-climate-bill-a-pile-of-s-t Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of s--t']</ref>
