In this Jan. 29, 2010, file photo President Barack Obama holds up a document of Republican solutions given to him by then-House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio before speaking to Republican lawmakers at the GOP House Issues Conference in Baltimore. Boehner's announced exit as House speaker and from Congress altogether caps a political career that began as the head of a homeowners association in an Ohio neighborhood and made him second in line to the presidency.
