NO USAR

EL PAÍS

La congresista demócrata Nancy Pelosi, una de las políticas más famosas e influyentes de Estados Unidos, lo deja. Será el año que viene, cuando no vuelva a presentarse a la reelección como representante por San Francisco. El anuncio, hecho por sorpresa este jueves, pone fin así a cuatro décadas en el Capitolio, durante las que rompió uno de los techos de cristal más duros de Washington, al convertirse en la primera mujer de la historia en ser presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes. Lo fue en dos periodos separados, dos tiempos convulsos en los que ejerció el cargo de&nbsp;speaker, que incorpora además la responsabilidad como&nbsp;tercera autoridad del país, por detrás&nbsp;del presidente y el vicepresidente.

00:00I heard the president say I deserve to be the speaker. I don't think anybody deserves anything. It's not about what you have done, it's what you can do.

00:09For decades, I've cherished the privilege of representing our magnificent city in the United States Congress.

00:17We can be proud of what we have accomplished, but there's always much more work to be done.

00:21That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress.

00:30Thank you, San Francisco, for trusting me to be your voice in Congress. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

00:38The House will be in order. The chair will address the chamber.

01:00God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you very much.

01:08Madam Speaker, how do you feel after the vote today?

01:26I'm very impressed by Senator Romney's statement.

01:30Now the president has been working with a bipartisan vote against his statement.

01:39And what do you think it says, that message says?

01:41That's all I'm going to say.

01:43Thank you.

01:45Thank you.

01:46Thank you.

01:47Thank you.

01:48Thank you.
