This post has been updated.

Speaker John Boehner plans to resign from Congress in late October, he told members of his conference Friday morning in a closed door meeting, according to multiple reports emerging from the meeting room.

Boehner, 65, is second in line to the presidency, after Vice President Joe Biden. He was first elected to Congress in 1990. He has served as speaker since Republicans took control of the House in 2011.

Boehner was meeting with his conference to discuss plans to avert a government shutdown, looming next week. The speaker was under enormous pressure to keep the government open and satisfy conservative members of the conference who were refusing to vote for any bill that would provide funds for Planned Parenthood.

Boehner was expected to announce his resignation in a press conference after the Republican conference meeting ended later Friday morning, but apparently canceled the press conference.

He released a statement late Friday morning confirming that he will step down on Oct. 30.
