Republican John Boehner was today elected as the Speaker of the House, ousting Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who has maintained the position within the formerly Democratic-controlled House.
Boehner was chosen in a vote by the full 435-member House, shortly after the Republican-led chamber convened.
Boehner’s election marks the end of four years of Democratic rule.
