House Speaker Paul Ryan talks to reporters at the Republican National Committee headquarters on Capitol Hill on June 14, 2016. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., issued a stern warning Thursday about the rhetoric coming from Donald Trump about the way government should work.
“We will lose our freedoms in this country, including all of the Bill of Rights, if we don’t robustly defend the separation of powers,” Ryan said at his weekly press conference inside the U.S. Capitol.
Ryan was asked by reporters numerous times about Trump’s recent conduct. Just this week, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee questioned whether President Obama actually wants to stop terrorist attacks, accused many American Muslims of sheltering terrorists and said he could act unilaterally as president to prevent any type or class of people from entering the country. Trump made the last claim despite the fact that Article I, Section 8, clause 4 of the Constitution entrusts Congress with the power to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.”

At this point, looks like the election is shaping up to be America versus the Uniparty.
Since when is Paul Ryan worried about separation of powers?
After this year, I absolutely believe in the Uniparty. Ryan, Obama and Clinton are charter members. Trump isn’t. Which perfectly explains why Ryan is more upset with Trump than his is with Obama.
Well....it appeared to work the way Trump is proposing for the first 232 years...its just the last 8 that are the problem.
I’m pretty sure the President can stop dangerous people from entering this country. Even Obama did it regarding Iran years ago. Ryan needs to learn how government works.
Rule of Naturalization? Is he really that stupid?
Trump only talked about denying them visas. How is that destroying our freedoms?
Ryan sounds like an idiot. Even McCain is making more sense.
I think Ryan is a little mixed up equating Trump with Obama’s tactics.
Bring back Saddams’ plastic shredders. This guy needs a transexual encounter with Lindsay Graham.
Trumps not even President and these trees are issuing warnings about what he MIGHT do, while for the past 7+ years they have sat on their hands and kept silent while Obama has been shredding both the Constitution and Bill of Rights with executive orders.
This debate is not about Naturalization but entry into the country to begin with. Wake up Ryan and the complicit news media.
... Said Ryan who has fully funded 0bama’s usurpation of Legislative Authority.
It would have been nice if he or Mitch or Cryin John talked more like this over the past 7 years.
Wow too bad ryan is never this much on fire about obama
Stern warning?
Here’s a warning to the ignorant, full of himself, asshat RINO Republicrat:
Your party is dying. The Democrat party is full of cancerous growths, so don’t try crossing over to that one.
Your only hope now is to get the hell out of the District of Corruption and find another career. You are toast!
Hurrah for NEHLEN!
Trump you have the target in sight.
Trump needs to throw some events in Wisconsin, pointedly including Nehlen. Ryan is the poster boy for everything foul in the GOPe.
““We will lose our freedoms in this country, including all of the Bill of Rights, if we don’t robustly defend the separation of powers,” Ryan said at his weekly press conference inside the U.S. Capitol.”
You mean like you worthless pricks have been doing for the last 8 years? For all the good the Congress has done in that timeframe, we could have fired all of them and saved hundreds of million on pay, benefits, perks, support staff and operating costs!
“robustly defend the separation of powers”
What a great idea, too bad these contemptiple RINOs in Congress have been letting the Obamanation walk all over them with gross abuses of executive power!!!
I’m still waiting for Ryan to use “Separation of Powers”
All he does is go to the gym whenever Obama implements something.
