Paul Ryan On Stopping Trump's Muslim Ban: We'll Sue Him!
TalkingPointsMemo ^ | 6/17/2016 | Tierney Sneed

Posted on 06/17/2016 9:03:03 AM PDT by lodi90

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has made clear he doesn't agree with a proposal put forward by Donald Trump -- whom Ryan has endorsed -- to ban Muslim immigration into the United States, but in an interview with the Huffington Post Thursday, Ryan floated taking a President Trump to court if he tried to implement such a ban or some of his other controversial proposals unilaterally.

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump's claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.

Ryan said he wasn't sure of the "legal question" of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president.

“That’s a legal question that there’s a good debate about,” he said, citing the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.

"On the broader question, are we going to exert our Article I powers and reclaim this Article I power no matter who the president is? Absolutely," Ryan said. He also said he discussed the limits of the executive power with Trump.

In the interview, Ryan said his endorsement of real estate mogul did not give Trump “a blank check,” and that he was still trying to achieve "real unity" between the presumptive nominee and his caucus.

Headline on Drudge now. This will get a lot of play. Ryan is fragging Trump again. That seems to be happening now on a daily basis. Ryan is giving media availabilities specifically to trash the presumptive nominee of his party. Disgusting. A party that does this to its nominee does not deserve to exist, IMO.

Ryan needs to shut up or be shut up. It is time for opposition research against him. What are his business connections? Where does his money come from. What are his family ties and what are they doing, etc. Ryan is working to elect Hillary.

My only question is if Ryan’s getting his 30 pieces of silver delivered to his home or his office?

Ryan is a punk. Biden mopped the floor with him in their “debate” in 2012. He should be working as a towel boy at some gym in Wisconsin.

Finally the Republican House leadership wants to stop the President and his agenda. To bad it isn’t the socialist democrat president they want to stop but a Republican.
