I looked for John Boehner’s name in the 112th Congress.

Not there!

Great database.

Omits the Speaker of the House!

By convention the Speaker of the House usually doesn't vote.

This actually came up in the Lincoln movie. There was a very close vote on the amendment that outlawed slavery so the Speaker cast a vote.

Except in ties or exceptionally important matters the speaker usually doesn't register a vote.
