House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi applauds Thursday after handing the gavel to John Boehner, who was re-elected as House speaker of the 113th Congress. Boehner said, “The American dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt.”

U.S. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was re-elected speaker of the House on Thursday despite some unrest among Republicans about his handling of recent fiscal negotiations with the White House and his decision to call off a vote on hurricane relief.
