(Dec 2)

House Speaker-designate John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after the House voted to censure Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY):
“ The American people have every right to expect the highest standards of ethical conduct from their elected leaders.  This is a sad day for the House of Representatives, and a reminder of the work we have ahead of us to repair the shattered bonds of trust between the people and their government.  Moving forward, it is critical that the Ethics Committee resolve these issues fairly and expeditiously on behalf of the members, this institution, and, most importantly, the American people .”
