Early reports confirm long whispered rumors: House Speaker Paul Ryan will put down the gavel at the end of the Congress. Soon he will announce that, after calling the House to order for almost three years and under two vastly different presidential administrations, he will retire as speaker to spend more time with his family. His predecessor had his own announcement: John Boehner is joining a weed company.

Before Ryan’s news was even public, former Speaker Boehner tweeted that he was joining the advisory board of Acreage Holding, the leading cannabis corporation. And that’s exactly what Ryan can’t do.
