A member of the Republican Party, he was the U.S. Representative from , serving from 1991 to 2015. The district included several rural and suburban areas near Cincinnati and Dayton. Boehner previously served as the House Minority Leader from 2007 until 2011, and House Majority Leader from 2006 until 2007. Boehner's almost nine years as the Republican Leader in the House (four years as Minority Leader and nearly five years as Speaker) was the longest consecutive tenure for a Republican Leader in the House since Bob Michel of Illinois served 14 years as House Minority Leader from 1981 through 1995. On September 25, 2015, Boehner announced he would resign the Speakership and retire from Congress effective October 30. However, due to later developments in the succession plans of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Boehner announced he would remain Speaker until the election of a successor, potentially delaying his originally planned retirement. On October 29, 2015, prior to the voting of a new Speaker, Boenher's farewell speech included his intent to resign as representative for Ohio's 8th congressional district, effective at the end of the month. Paul Ryan was then voted in as the new Speaker. Boehner's resignation as a member from Congress became effective at 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2015. ==Early life, education, and career== Boehner was born in Reading, Ohio, the son of Mary Anne (née Hall) and Earl Henry Boehner, the second of twelve children. His father was of German descent and his mother had German and Irish ancestry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Office of Speaker Boehner's Photos – January 2011 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Boehner – 8th District of Ohio )〕 He grew up in modest circumstances, having shared one bathroom with his eleven siblings in a two-bedroom house in Cincinnati. His parents slept on a pull-out couch. He started working at his family's bar at age 8, a business founded by their grandfather Andy Boehner in 1938.〔 He has lived in Southwest Ohio his entire life. All but two of his siblings still live within a few miles of one another; two are unemployed and most of the others have blue-collar jobs. Boehner attended Cincinnati's Moeller High School and was a linebacker on the school's football team, where he was coached by future Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust. Graduating from Moeller in 1968, when U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was at its peak, Boehner enlisted in the United States Navy but was honorably discharged after eight weeks because of a bad back.〔(Weiser, Carl. "Military service rare on delegation," ''Cincinnati Enquirer'', 23 September 2002 ), accessed October 12, 2013.〕 He earned his B.A. in business administration from Xavier University in 1977, becoming the first person in his family to attend college, taking seven years as he held several jobs to pay for his education.〔 Shortly after his graduation in 1977, Boehner accepted a position with Nucite Sales, a small sales business in the packaging and plastics industry. He was steadily promoted and eventually became president of the firm, resigning in 1990 when he was elected to Congress.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Boehner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
