White smoke: Boehner’s encounter with Pope Francis changed Congress forever
An audience with the pope is a day to remember.
But only on Capitol Hill would the day after the pope visited become even more memorable.
The late Pope Francis came to Washington, D.C., to speak to a Joint Meeting of Congress on Sept. 24, 2015. He wasn’t the first pontiff to descend on Capitol Hill. But the pope is a head of state, ruling the Vatican City and the Holy See. As such, Francis became the first pope to speak to a Joint Meeting of Congress in the House chamber.

Lawmakers showered the Holy Father with applause and two standing ovations during his address. Two Catholics were perched behind Pope Francis on the dais: then Vice President Joe Biden and former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. As vice president, Biden served as President of the Senate. As speaker, Boehner was the Constitutional officer for the legislative branch.
Boehner blotted his eyes with a handkerchief several times during the 3,400-word speech.
Pope Francis implored lawmakers to treat each other — and their constituents — with dignity.
«We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays. To discard whatever proves troublesome. Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’» he said.

One thing I remember about the Pope’s visit was the choreography. Congressional workers affixed small, green strips of tape to the Capitol’s marble floors. Names were emblazoned on the tape in black Magic Marker at different points around the complex. «McCarthy» or «Pelosi» or «McConnell.» All part of the political — and papal — stagecraft.
The tape dictated where key political leaders would stand as they escorted Pope Francis into the House chamber or in front of the statue of Junipero Serra in Statuary Hall.
A duct-taped «X» marked the floor in front of Serra. The pope canonized Serra the day before he visited the Capitol at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Serra became the first American to become a saint on U.S. soil. Pope Francis blessed the statue of Serra. The statue depicts the saint hoisting a cross in his right hand, looking skyward toward the heavens.
Someone taped a green arrow over the black and white tiles of Statuary Hall, pointing toward the Speaker’s Office.
That signaled the pope’s next stop on Capitol Hill.

Pope Francis and the entourage then walked toward Boehner’s office and onto the Speaker’s Balcony overlooking the West Front of the Capitol and down the National Mall toward the Washington Monument.
A throng assembled on the Capitol grounds.
«Buenos dias,» said the Pope, greeting the crowd like he would from the «Pope’s Window» at the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican on a Sunday. «I am grateful for your presence.»
He then blessed the pilgrims on the ground below.
«Papa! Papa!» the crowd chanted.
When the pope first arrived at the Capitol, he met with Boehner in the Speaker’s ceremonial office just off the House floor.
Boehner paced nervously awaiting Pope Francis on the 19th century Minton Tiles, which adorn the office.
«He’s on Boehner time,» said the former speaker. «Which is on time.»
Boehner wore his signature Kelly green tie for the occasion — a vintage piece of Boehner apparel, which dates back to when he served in the Ohio state legislature and first ran for Congress in 1990. When Pope Francis arrived, he told the former speaker the tie bore a «color of hope.»
A few days later, Boehner choked up as he relayed a story about what Pope Francis said to him when they were about to exit the Capitol.
«We found ourselves alone,» said Boehner of himself and Francis.

The pope grabbed the speaker’s arm.
«The pope puts his arm around me and kind of pulled me to him and said, ‘Please pray for me,’» said Boehner. «Wow. Who am I to pray for the pope?’ But I did.»
Boehner left the Capitol that night. But his encounter with the Holy Father seemingly transformed the speaker — and altered the trajectory of the House for years to come.
The speaker decided to resign the next morning.
«He had been trying to get out of here for years,» said one source close to the speaker at the time.
Boehner’s plans to depart were thwarted when the heir apparent, former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., stunningly lost his primary in the spring of 2014.
So Boehner soldiered on.
By late July 2015, former Trump White House chief of staff and former Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., prepped a «motion to vacate the chair.» Those who follow Capitol Hill know all about such a motion now. But it was novel a decade ago. Such a motion would require the House to take a vote of confidence in the speaker in the middle of the Congress. Lawmakers had never used the tactic before. It was hardly discussed.

Meadows released his resolution just before the August recess — but never triggered it.
That gave Boehner and the House a month to stew over whether Meadows might try to oust the speaker when lawmakers returned in September.
On the night after the pope’s visit, Boehner called his chief of staff, Mike Sommers, to tell him he planned to step aside. Boehner also told his wife, Debbie, of his plans.
«This morning I woke up, said my prayers, as I always do, and thought, ‘This is the day I am going to do this,’» said Boehner.
Boehner then astonished a meeting of the House Republican Conference that he intended to resign.
The move sent a shock wave through Washington.
«My first job as speaker is to protect the institution,» Boehner said. «It had become clear to me that this prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution.»
The Boehner departure — the day after his encounter with Pope Francis — set into motion what some might regard as the very «prolonged leadership turmoil» that the former speaker hoped to avoid.
It was believed that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. — then the House Majority Leader — would ascend to the job. But as startling as Boehner’s departure was, McCarthy supplanted that. Moments before House Republicans were set to tap McCarthy as the next speaker, McCarthy withdrew from the contest. He lacked the votes.

McCarthy’s decision roiled Capitol Hill for weeks. Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., eventually took the job. But Ryan was reluctant. He even put out a statement that he didn’t want it.
Others jumped in: Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., along with former Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Bill Flores, R-Texas.
But Ryan finally came around. Fox was told at the time that if Ryan hadn’t come around, «there would be blood on the floor» of the House as Republicans waged an internecine donnybrook.
Ryan remained as House speaker until he retired in early 2019. Democrats won the House in the 2018 midterms. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., returned to the speakership she held eight years before.
But Democrats lost the House in the 2022 midterms. And even though McCarthy touted a 40-plus-seat rout for the GOP, Republicans controlled the House by a thread.

Thus, it set into motion a five-day battle in early 2023 as McCarthy struggled for 15 rounds before winning the speakership. It was the longest speaker’s race since the mid-19th century.
But McCarthy was gone by early November.
Remember that «motion to vacate the chair» mentioned earlier?
Meadows never activated his motion in 2015. But former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., did in 2023.
McCarthy was done. And the House spent three weeks trying to elect a new speaker.
First they tried House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La. Then House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Then House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn.
None prevailed.
Finally, a backbencher emerged from the fray: House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

The House of Representatives has never quite been the same since Boehner made his surprise announcement after his encounter with Pope Francis. The speakership seems to teeter on an edge these days — at least when Republicans run the chamber. Johnson periodically endures threats to «vacate the chair.» Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tried to bounce him just last year.
During the speaker succession fight of 2015 and the three-week speaker debacle of 2023, friends asked if «white smoke» would emanate from the Capitol Dome. They facetiously suggested that it would signal the election of a new House speaker.
The College of Cardinals will begin a conclave in Rome in a few days to select a successor to Pope Francis. It’s a political process. Not unlike what happens in Congress when there’s a vacancy in the speakership. We’ll know there’s a new pope when white smoke wafts out of a duct atop the Sistine Chapel.

It was an important day when Pope Francis spoke to a Joint Meeting of Congress in 2015. But in sheer Congressional terms, the day afterward was seismic for the nature of the institution. Boehner’s abrupt resignation ushered in an unsettled era about who presides over the House. The visit by Pope Francis and Boehner’s departure forever melded the two together in the annals of Capitol Hill.
And as a result, whenever there’s a House speaker interregnum in the future, political observers will always look for political «white smoke» to find out if lawmakers have settled on a new leader.

Polémica en Estados Unidos: el gobierno de Trump envió cartas con amenazas a niños inmigrantes
En una medida que desató una fuerte polémica, el gobierno de Donald Trump comenzó amenazar a niños inmigrantes para que abandonen el país. Decenas de ellos recibieron cartas con amenazas de deportación.
“Es hora de que salgas de Estados Unidos”, señala la primera línea de una de las cartas que recibieron a su nombre los menores de edad. Y agrega: “No intentes permanecer ilegalmente en Estados Unidos; el Gobierno federal te encontrará”.
Leé también: Lejos de su objetivo, Trump deportó a 239.000 migrantes en seis meses y tiene en la mira a otros 13 millones
Los destinatarios de las advertencias entraron al país legalmente. En las misivas, se los amenaza con deportaciones, multas y procesos penales.
En abril pasado, los tribunales de inmigración ordenaron la deportación de más de 8300 niños de 11 años o menos. Y en los casi ocho meses que lleva la gestión de Trump, los jueces ordenaron la deportación de más de 53.000 niños inmigrantes, según Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, una organización de la Universidad de Syracuse.
La mayoría de estos niños están en edad de escuela primaria. Aproximadamente 15 mil tenían menos de cuatro años, y otros 20 mil, entre cuatro y 11. Unos 17.000 adolescentes también fueron deportados.
Qué dicen las cartas enviadas a menores inmigrantes
Las cartas desataron una ola de nerviosismo y temor en numerosas familias migrantes. “Actualmente te encuentras aquí porque el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) te otorgó un permiso de entrada condicional a Estados Unidos por un período limitado. El DHS está ejerciendo su discreción para cancelar tu permiso de entrada condicional, o ya lo ha hecho”, afirma una de las cartas citadas por EFE.

En otro de los párrafos, se lee: “Si no sales de Estados Unidos de inmediato, estarás sujeto a posibles medidas policiales que resultarán en tu deportación”.
“Esto es algo nunca visto”
Las cartas causaron enorme malestar y temor en las comunidades de inmigrantes. “Esto es una barbaridad, algo nunca visto o imaginado por todos lo que nos dedicamos a la defensa de los (migrantes) indocumentados”, dijo la pastora Julie Contreras, del santuario United Giving Hope, que tiene sede en la ciudad de Waukegan, Illinois, 74 kilómetros al norte de Chicago.
Y agregó: “Imaginen qué pasa por la cabeza de un niño al recibir una carta de este tipo de parte del Gobierno del país más poderoso del mundo, que les niega el permiso humanitario. Esto es muy grave y fuerte”.

Decenas de niños del área de Waukegan, que cruzaron la frontera sin sus padres, en su mayoría desde México, recibieron cartas de deportación. Todos ellos ingresaron legalmente al país en 2014 bajo un programa humanitario como “menores no acompañados” para, posteriormente, reunirse con sus padres indocumentados u otros familiares que ya vivían en Estados Unidos.
A pesar de la reunificación, los menores no pueden ser representados legalmente por sus padres en un tribunal de inmigración por la forma en que ingresaron al país, y dependen de abogados defensores que vieron su trabajo reducido por falta de recursos.
“Estos niños no son criminales”
Según Contreras, las cartas pueden ser un cambio “preocupante y alarmante” porque ahora se buscaría despojar a los niños de las protecciones de asilo, incluso a aquellos con solicitudes pendientes, y acelerar la deportación de menores sin el debido proceso.
“Estos niños no son los criminales que Trump afirmó que el ICE perseguiría. Son víctimas de violaciones de derechos humanos y están siendo aterrorizados. Incluso si el ICE no los busca de inmediato, la sola amenaza les causa un grave trauma psicológico”, dijo.
Tres de esos niños, acompañados de madres o tías, buscaron la protección de “santuario” en la iglesia de Contreras. Un cuarto fue dejado solo al cuidado de la iglesia porque sus padres tienen miedo. “Estados Unidos está perdiendo su humanidad, las iglesias y otros santuarios ya no ofrecen garantías”, afirmó la pastora.

El silencioso desmantelamiento legal
La ley de inmigración establece que los menores no acompañados que llegan a la frontera sin un padre o tutor legal deben recibir protección especial: son puestos bajo el cuidado de la Oficina de Reubicación de Refugiados (ORR, por sus siglas en inglés) y se les otorga un permiso humanitario mientras se procesan sus casos.
Pero en los últimos meses, defensores de los migrantes y abogados afirman que el sistema se está desmantelando silenciosamente.

Cada vez más menores no acompañados ven revocado su permiso humanitario y son encarcelados en procesos migratorios donde no tienen ninguna capacidad para defenderse, dijo a medios locales Davina Casas, pastora y líder de la Organización Monarquía, de Chicago.
Casas explicó que en marzo la Administración Trump recortó los fondos para abogados de menores no acompañados, y solo tras una demanda de 11 grupos defensores se restablecieron temporalmente por orden judicial, aunque el caso sigue abierto.
Los grupos sostienen que, según una ley contra la trata de 2008, el Gobierno debe ofrecer asistencia legal y garantizar la repatriación segura de los niños. Pero Casas duda que, incluso con fondos restablecidos, la demanda pueda ser cubierta.

Hunter Biden’s Ambien claim triggers deeper GOP probe into alleged cover-up of former president’s cognition
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are now digging into Hunter Biden’s implication that an Ambien sleeping pill was responsible for his father’s consequential debate performance one year ago, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
The revelation comes as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is leading an investigation into the alleged cover-up of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and his administration’s potentially unauthorized autopen use for pardons and executive actions.
«He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as s–t,» Hunter Biden told Andrew Callaghan on his «Channel 5» podcast last weekend. «They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.»
But the former president’s son later clarified to ABC News that he did not mean Biden was taking Ambien directly before the debate, and he had intended to make a greater point about his father’s rigorous travel schedule in the weeks leading up to that disastrous debate night.

«Hunter Biden’s claim that ‘they gave him Ambien to be able to sleep’ raises serious questions,» a House Oversight Committee spokesperson told Fox News Digital. «The House Oversight Committee is looking into this as part of its investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions by White House staff.»
Ambien, or zolpidem, is a prescription medication for insomnia. It is intended only for short-term use, according to GoodRx. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, muscle and joint pain, and double or blurry vision.

The medication can also cause memory problems and grogginess during the day, and more serious and rare side effects can include hallucinations, «abnormal thinking and behavior» and «possible increased risk of dementia in older adults,» according to GoodRx.
Biden’s former chief of staff and a fixture of his re-election campaign, Ron Klain, is expected to participate in a transcribed interview on Thursday before the House Oversight Committee.
In a letter requesting his appearance, Comer quoted Klain as cutting Biden’s debate prep short last year «due to the president’s fatigue and lack of familiarity with the subject matter,» adding that Biden «didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation,» citing a POLITICO report from earlier this year.
«If White House staff carried out a strategy lasting months or even years to hide the chief executive’s condition—or to perform his duties—Congress may need to consider a legislative response,» Comer said, arguing that the scope of Klain’s responsibilities in his personal and professional capacities «cannot go without investigation.»
Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of The New York Times, and Isaac Arnsdor of The Washington Post describe in their new book, «2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,» how during the June 2024 debate «Biden’s aides winced as the president started answering the first question.»

And backstage, as Biden stumbled over an answer that questionably ended with, «We finally beat Medicare,» Klain stood up and announced, «We’re f—ed,» according to the authors.
When reached for comment to confirm the book’s allegation, Klain told Fox News Digital, «I have nothing to add.»
A top former Biden administration aide invoked the Fifth Amendment during her closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee, Fox News Digital was told.
Annie Tomasini became the third Democratic ex-official to stonewall investigators looking into whether signs of Biden’s alleged mental decline were covered up by his inner circle.
The former White House deputy chief of staff was seen entering and exiting the committee room in under an hour, saying nothing to reporters either time.

A source familiar with the discussions told Fox News Digital that she invoked the Fifth Amendment multiple times. Tomasini herself did not answer when Fox News Digital asked if she did so, and her lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
«Today, the third witness in our investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions pleaded the Fifth Amendment. There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy,» Comer told Fox News Digital.
Tomasini is the third former Biden administration official to come before committee investigators under subpoena, and the fifth to appear overall.
She was meant to appear Friday for a voluntary transcribed interview, but a committee aide previously told Fox News Digital that Tomasini’s lawyers had asked Comer to issue a subpoena specifically.
Both prior officials who appeared under subpoena—former White House physician Kevin O’Connor and Anthony Bernal, a longtime aide to former First Lady Jill Biden—also invoked the Fifth Amendment.

Biden’s office declined to comment to Fox News Digital about the House GOP probe into his alleged Ambien use.
But a source familiar with the Biden team’s thinking regarding the ongoing House Oversight investigation had previously told Fox News Digital that Trump and congressional Republicans are simply seeking «retribution» through a «partisan, coordinated effort.»
«It’s an attempt to smear and embarrass,» the source said. «And their hope is for just one tiny inconsistency between witnesses to appear so that Trump’s DOJ [can] prosecute his political opponents and continue his campaign of revenge.»
Fox News’ Melissa Ruddy, Aishah Hasnie, Tyler Olson and Kelly Phares contributed to this report.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday doubled down on Tehran’s refusal to abandon its nuclear program and said Iran is «fully prepared» for a renewed fight with Israel.
The Iranian president’s comments came just two days after Tehran’s foreign minister confirmed to Fox News that Iran will not give up its enrichment program, but continues to claim Tehran is not interested in developing a nuclear weapon.
«[US President Donald] Trump says that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon and we accept this because we reject nuclear weapons and this is our political, religious, humanitarian and strategic position,» Pezeshkian said in an interview with Al Jazeera.

IRAN WILL NOT GIVE UP NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT, TOP OFFICIAL CONFIRMS IN EXCLUSIVE FOX NEWS INTERVIEW
«We believe in diplomacy, so any future negotiations must be according to a win-win logic, and we will not accept threats and dictates,» he added.
Pezeshkian also said Trump’s repeated claims that the U.S. «obliterated» Iran’s nuclear program is «just an illusion.»
«Our nuclear capabilities are in the minds of our scientists and not in the facilities,» he said.
The U.S. strikes – which came just days after Israel targeted top military figures and nuclear scientists – are believed to have set back Iran’s nuclear program by up to two years.
But security experts have told Fox News Digital that Iran continues to possess significant military strike capabilities, and questions remain over whether Iran was able to successfully move any enriched uranium off site prior to Washington’s strikes.
Pezeshkian acknowledged the blow that Israel levied against its top officials, but said it «completely failed» to «eliminate» the hierarchy of Iran’s nuclear program.
He further warned that Iran is ready to take on Jerusalem should another conflict break out.
«We are fully prepared for any new Israeli military move, and our armed forces are ready to strike deep inside Israel again,» Pezeshkian said.

IRAN VOWS RETALIATION IF UN SECURITY COUNCIL ISSUES SNAPBACK SANCTIONS ON ANNIVERSARY OF NUCLEAR DEAL
Iran and Israel are still operating under a ceasefire brokered by the U.S. and Qatar following last month’s 12-Day War, but the Iranian president said he is not confident this truce will hold.
«We are not very optimistic about it,» Pezeshkian said.
«That is why we have prepared ourselves for any possible scenario and any potential response. Israel has harmed us, and we have also harmed it,» he added. «It has dealt us powerful blows, and we have struck it hard in its depths, but it is concealing its losses.»
Delegations from France, Germany and the U.K. (E3) are set to travel to Tehran on Friday to discuss nuclear negotiations.
The E3 visit will come just three days after officials from Russia and China, who are also signatories of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPAO), visited on Tuesday to discuss negotiations and how Iran can avoid sanctions, though details of the talks remain unknown.

Iran began initiating international talks after the E3 last week threatened to employ snapback sanctions – which would see the entire 15-member U.N. Security Council enforce strict economic ramifications – should Iran not enter into a nuclear agreement by the end of August.
The timeframe is consistent with the time needed for the JCPOA signatories to recall snapback sanctions prior to the Oct. 18 expiration date when the economic tool can no longer be employed en masse per the 2015 terms of the agreement.
