GOP Reps: God Told Us to Keep Boehner as Speaker HE NARROWLY SURVIVED JANUARY VOTE AFTER CAUCUS MEMBERS PRAYED OVER IT By Matt Cantor, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Jun 4, 2013 9:11 AM CDT (NEWSER) – In the first days of the year, some House Republicans launched an attempt to ditch John Boehner as speaker—but he survived a vote after a number of colleagues said they'd spent the night praying, and God told them to let Boehner keep the job, notes the Washington Post in a report spotted by the Daily Intelligencer. Rep. Steve Southerland, for instance, looked to the Biblical story of Saul and David, in which David gets two chances to kill the king, but lets him go.
