House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) unveiled what he called the Republicans“ “policy agenda” for 2017 on Wednesday, including a plan to regain the legislative power granted to Congress in Article One of the U.S. Constitution.
“Article One,” Ryan said at a pen and pad briefing with reporters at the Capitol, “this is something that our members are very animated about because this has gotten out of control. This is about the separation of powers, about the Constitution, and wresting control away from decades of executive overreach and giving it back to Congress,” he said.
Ryan noted that President Barack Obama is not the only president to employ “executive overreach” to advance his agenda. “But this president has taken it even further than anyone before,” Ryan said. …

It can be advanced with a new Republican President.
If Hillary wins though, I expect it to be quietly scrapped.
What girlie-man!
Just as Obama’s walking out the door, he decides to get ‘tough’....LOL
Ummm...where was he over the last 7 years?
No one is falling for this Uniparty crap anymore.
It’s for 2017, so he’s not getting tough at all. Except against a GOP president.
Too little too late too gay
Too little,too late.
They should all be run out of office.
.
St Paul and his ilk seek to reign in Exec overreach so the Donald cannot use the precedents set by the Muslim from Indonesia. That is just too rich!!!!!! Anyone still wondering why I ripped up my GOPee card in 2006 after voting straight R for 40 years?
Oh...FU PR
Time for ryan to go.
“If Hillary wins though, I expect it to be quietly scrapped.”
If God forbid that should happen ( believe that she can run even while under indictment, or, for that matter, even under house arrest with an ankle bracelet), there won’t be the votes, no matter what happens in November. Then there will be a lot of noise from Ryan, O’Connell, et al about needing more support/funding to defeat those nasty Democrats.
Gutless Republicans
It’s way past time to stop aiming and pull the trigger.
This is why we are so ticked off. This should have been done on day one, you cowards.
Yup had Yebbie, Ryan, (Cruz?), or Mittens been the nominee, executive overreach would have been fine. I read more than once, the thinking was let Bamster reach as far as he wants, then the GOP will benefit with same overreach for their agenda.
I think every last one of these incumbents needs to be primaried!
He’s probably planning to figure it out next Jan when Trump is President.
So, he’s going to get tough starting NEXT year!?!! When in all likelihood we will have President Trump!?? Please everyone, work together to cantorize this scum bag.
As soon as Trump gets in...
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And the corrupt Washington cartel is probably not going to surrender those stolen state powers and revenues back to the states anytime soon, at least not before Trump is elected.
He (meaning short stuff, cowardly ryan) has got to be kidding!! he surely does think we are so dumb he can say this with a straight face and we will buy it. Gullible we are not... They make me angry every time they try to pull this stuff...it’s insulting... and he’s a liar. They are so corrupt, there are no words to use any more to describe them.
