Speaker of the House

Boehner stepping down 

Mr. Boehner told almost no one about his decision about resigning. He said in the news conference in the Capitol " This morning I woke up," and said told his wife that he is going to resign. Just like that he just resigned. He resigned from one of the biggest position in the house, Speaker of the House. Why is it so significant? Well the speaker of the house is third in line to become the president of the United States. Paul Ryan, Republican, step in and is the new Speaker of the House.
