The 114th Congress has voted John Boehner to a third term as Speaker of the House (216-192), but to win the nod, he had to sustain the largest defection of support since 1923. See below for the list of the 24 who voted to sack Boehner, and one who voted present. Even though Boehner did win, a message was sent and embarrassment felt as phone lines were jammed by tens of thousands of angry Republicans and Tea Party Americans eager to voice their dissatisfaction with John Boehner and his betrayal to those he took an oath to support. Less than a month ago, John Boehner mocked the voters who gave him his historic majority by pushing and endorsing the Cromnibus bill that fully funded both ObamaCare and Obama Amnesty. For his actions on Obamas Executive Amnesty (Boehner did nothing to stop Obamas Executive Order on Amnesty) and his Cromnibus betrayal, Boehner was bloodied and embarrassed. He didnt make a casual stroll to the podium. He was beaten up by members of his own party who carried your message of outrage that hasnt been seen in the party in 92 years! No. This is a victory for Republican and Tea Party voters who got involved; who voiced their anger via phone and fax; and who let it be known they werent happy. If you were one of the tens of thousands who called and jammed the switchboards, thank you for your efforts. It was a win for us... Here are the 24 GOP lawmakers who did not vote for Boehner: 1. Rep. Justin Amash, (MI) 2. Rep. Brian Babin, (TX) (voted present) 3. Rep. Rod Blum, (IA) 4. Rep. Dave Brat, (VA) 5. Rep. Jim Bridenstine, (OK) 6. Rep. Curt Clawson, (FL) 7. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, (TN) 8.
