GOP USA details
Speaker’s resolve.
A spokesman said Tuesday that U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has no plans to obey conservative calls for his resignation.
"The Speaker has and will lead the Republican conference to another majority in the 110th Congress," spokesman Ron Bonjean said in a statement, CNN reported.
Hastert, R-Ill., faces criticism because of claims that he ignored warning signals about Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. Foley resigned Friday after the publication of sexually explicit instant messages he allegedly sent a teenage House page in 2003.
