Comparatively, the 113th Congress had 1.3 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the first session.

Economic and fiscal[edit]

Trade Act of 2015[edit]
See also: The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, 2015

Trade adjustment assistance
Nay3.png On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Boehner was one of 158 Republicans to vote against TAA.[7][8]
Trade promotion authority
Yea3.png On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Boehner was one of 191 Republicans to support the measure.[9][10]
Trade promotion authority second vote
Yea3.png After the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) and trade promotion authority (TPA) did not pass the House together on June 12, 2015, representatives voted to authorize TPA alone as an amendment to HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—on June 18, 2015. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Boehner was one of 190 Republicans to vote in favor of the amendment.[11][12]

2016 Budget proposal[edit]

Yea3.png On April 30, 2015, the House voted to approve SConRes11, a congressional budget proposal for fiscal year 2016, by a vote of 226-197. The non-binding resolution was designed to create 12 appropriations bills to fund the government. All 183 Democrats who voted, voted against the resolution. Boehner voted with 225 other Republicans to approve the bill.[13][14][15]

2015 budget[edit]

Yea3.png On October 28, 2015, the House passed HR 1314—the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015—by a vote of 266-167. The bill increased military and domestic spending levels and suspended the debt ceiling until March 2017.[16] Boehner voted with 78 Republicans and 187 Democrats in favor of the bill.[17] It passed the Senate on October 30, 2015.[18] President Barack Obama signed it into law on November 2, 2015.

113th Congress[edit]

The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[19] For more information pertaining to Boehner's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[20]

Economy[edit]

Farm bill[edit]

See also: United States Farm Bill 2013

In January 2014, Boehner said he believed supply management would be successfully left out of the farm bill in 2014. He said, “I have fought off the supply management ideas for 23 years that I’ve been in Congress, and my position hasn’t changed. Mr. Peterson and others are aware of that."[21]

Government shutdown[edit]

See also: United States budget debate, 2013

Yea3.png On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[22] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[23] Boehner voted in favor of the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[24]

Yea3.png The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[25] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Boehner voted for HR 2775.[26]

Prior to both votes, Boehner released a statement on September 29, 2013, blasting Senate Democratic leaders over the looming shutdown. He said, "If the Senate stalls until Monday afternoon instead of working today, it would be an act of breathtaking arrogance by the Senate Democratic leadership. They will be deliberately bringing the nation to the brink of a government shutdown for the sake of raising taxes on seniors’ pacemakers and children’s hearing aids and plowing ahead with the train wreck that is the president’s health care law. The American people will not stand for it."[27] While Boehner attempted to shift blame for a potential shutdown on Senate Democrats, a CNN poll found that 46% of Americans blamed congressional Republicans.[28]

Boehner refused his pay for the duration of the shutdown.[29]

Government affairs[edit]

HR 676[edit]

See also: Boehner's lawsuit against the Obama administration

Yea3.png On July 30, 2014, the U.S. House approved a resolution 225 to 201 to sue President Barack Obama for exceeding his constitutional authority. Five Republicans—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Broun of Georgia, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Walter Jones of North Carolina and Steve Stockman of Texas—voted with Democrats against the lawsuit.[30] Boehner joined the other 224 Republicans in favor of the lawsuit. All Democrats voted against the resolution.[31][32]

Previous congressional sessions[edit]

Fiscal Cliff[edit]

Yea3.png Boehner voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 85 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[33]


Issues[edit]

Political positions[edit]

American response in Syria[edit]

See also: United States involvement in Syria

Boehner supported President Barack Obama's proposed military strikes against Syria. He stated, "The use of these weapons has to be responded to and only the United States has the capability and the capacity to stop Assad and to warn others around the world that this type of behavior is not to be tolerated."[34]

Response to Putin's op-ed[edit]

In September 2013, Russia's President Vladimir Putin wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times arguing that the Syrian government was not responsible for the use of chemical weapons. In response, Boehner stated that he was insulted by Putin's editorial. When asked to elaborate, he replied:

"The president does foreign policy and I’ve always believed while we have opinions, I probably already said more than I should have, but you got the truth."[35]

Unemployment benefits[edit]

Boehner commented on the debate over extending unemployment benefits. He said, "One month ago I personally told the White House that another extension of temporary emergency unemployment benefits should not only be paid for but include something to help put people back to work. To date, the president has offered no such plan. If he does, I’ll be happy to discuss it, but right now the House is going to remain focused on growing the economy and giving America’s unemployed the independence that only comes from finding a good job."[36]

Presidential preference[edit]

Speaker of the House elections[edit]

114th Congress[edit]

On January 6, 2015, Boehner was re-elected as Speaker of the House with 216 out of 408 votes cast. Twenty-five Republicans cast votes against Boehner.[38] The Washington Post called it "the biggest defection in at least 100 years."[39]

Three other Republicans, Reps. Louie Gohmert (TX), Ted Yoho (FL) and Daniel Webster (FL), were also nominated for the speakership. Webster received 12 votes, while various other Republicans received three or less votes. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) received the majority of Democratic support with 164 votes.[40]

113th Congress[edit]

During the swearing-in ceremony and election for Speaker of the House, nine Republican members of Congress either voted for someone other than Boehner or abstained and voted present. This was a change from the Speaker election in 2010, when the entire Republican caucus voted for him, then 241 members. Boehner won re-election to the speakership with 220 votes. He needed a majority of members voting, which was 214 of the 426 who voted. Former Speaker and California Representative Nancy Pelosi (D) received 192 votes.[41]

The nine Republican members who voted for someone other than Boehner were Justin Amash, Steve Pearce, Jim Bridenstine, Ted Yoho, Paul Broun, Louie Gohmert, Walter Jones, Thomas Massie, and Tim Huelskamp. Not all members who voted for someone other than Boehner or Pelosi voted for a current member of the U.S. House. Out-going member Allen West, former Comptroller General David Walker, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell all received votes.[41] This highlighted the fact that the speaker does not have to be a member of the U.S. House, although all previous speakers had been.[42]


Noteworthy events[edit]

Resignation from the House[edit]

On September 25, 2015, Boehner announced that he would resign the speakership and his seat at the end of October 2015. When he announced the move, Boehner told reporters that he was leaving to avoid conflict with members of his caucus who disagreed with his leadership decisions. “It’s become clear to me this prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution,” he said.[43] In the months leading up to the announcement, some conservative Republicans threatened to pursue a motion that would have stripped Boehner of the speakership.[44]

Bartender indicted for murder threats[edit]

Michael Hoyt, Boehner's bartender at Wetherington Country Club, was indicted on January 14, 2015, for plotting to kill Boehner either by poisoning his drink or shooting him. Hoyt had been fired from the country club and appeared to be troubled, claiming that he was Jesus and Boehner was the Devil. The report stated, "Hoyt told the officer he was Jesus Christ and he was going to kill Boehner because Boehner was mean to him at the country club and because Boehner is responsible for Ebola."[45] A spokesman for Boehner responded, "Speaker Boehner is aware of this situation, and sincerely thanks the FBI, the Capitol Police and local authorities in Ohio for their efforts."[46]

Leno appearance[edit]

In January 2014, Boehner appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He told Leno he was not planning to run for president in 2016. He said, "Listen, I like to play golf. I like to cut my own grass. You know, I do drink red wine. I smoke cigarettes. And I'm not giving that up to be president of the United States." He also offered his thoughts on the October 2013 government shutdown. He said, "When I looked up, I saw my colleagues going this way. And you learn that a leader without followers is simply a man taking a walk. So I said, 'You want to fight this fight? I'll go fight the fight with you.' But it was a very predictable disaster. The sooner we got it over with, the better." Boehner told Leno that he thought his friend Jeb Bush would make a good president, but he stopped short of endorsing him.[47]

Lawsuit against the Obama Administration[edit]

See also: Boehner's lawsuit against the Obama administration

On June 24, 2014, Boehner confirmed to reporters at a press conference that he planned to initiate a lawsuit against President Obama over the president's use of executive orders.[48]

In a June 2014 memo to House members, Boehner indicated that the legal action would cover a number of issues—including healthcare law, energy regulations, foreign policy, and education—but did not cite specific cases of executive overreach.[48]

On July 10, 2014, the speaker's office announced that the lawsuit would focus on Obama's failure to enforce the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's employer mandate.[49] The House voted to sue President Obama on July 30, 2014.[50]

The case was filed as U.S. House of Representatives v. Burwell on November 21, 2014.[51] In September 2015, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the House could proceed with its lawsuit challenging the use of unappropriated funds for new healthcare subsidies; however, the House could not sue the executive branch for delaying implementation of the employer mandate.[52] In May 2016, the same district court ruled that the executive branch could not use unappropriated funds to subsidize insurance companies.[53]

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Boehner's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,914,122 to $5,935,000. That averages to $3,924,561, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96.
