Former U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner

John Boehner spent nearly 25 years in Congress and served as the 53rd speaker of the House.

When he announced his resignation, President Obama called to tell the outgoing speaker that he'd miss him. "Mr. President," Boehner replied, "yes you will." In his new memoir, On the House, Boehner recounts his experiences and shares what he learned from his years of public service.
