John Boehner's Legacy and the GOP Undercard Debate Washington Week with The Atlantic
Ohio Republican John Boehner served nearly five years as House Speaker before passing the torch to Paul Ryan, and he retires this week after 25 years in Congress. Doyle McManus of The Los Angeles Times says that his career as Speaker may not have been what he wanted it to be and that he may have been better suited to serve as Speaker 20 years ago.
