The woman who made U.S. history two years ago by becoming the first
female speaker of the House of Representatives has been re-elected
to that post.
House colleagues chose Nancy Pelosi to continue as speaker. Her fellow
Democrats, with an expanded majority, elected her over Republican
John Boehner on the first day of the 111th Congress.
Pelosi received 255 votes, to Boehner's 174.
Pelosi, a Californian who represents one of the nation's most
liberal congressional districts, will lead a Democratic majority that
has grown by more than 20 members since the end of the last Congress,
the AP reports.
Nancy Pelosi is one of the co-sponsors of the Armenian Genocide
Resolution (H.Res.106).
As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from a source in Washington,
a similar resolution may be introduced in the 111th Congress.
