House Speaker Paul Ryan will leave Congress at the end of his current term, he announced today. He will conclude his service in January, he said, after 20 years in the House of Representatives. 'If I am here for one more term, my kids will only have ever known me as a weekend dad,' the GOP leader whose own father passed away at the age of 16 said. 'I just can't let that happen.' A statement on his retirement in way mentioned the president with whom Ryan has a notoriously rocky relationship, and the Republican rep said at a press conference that Donald Trump's election had nothing to do with his decision to quit Congress. In a tweet this morning Trump downplayed the division, as well, calling Ryan a 'good man' who will leave behind a 'legacy of achievement that nobody can question.'
