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.”

This scheming bastard is trying to queer things up for Trump so he can run in 2020, and he is also begging for an ass whipping.
Congress has ALREADY delegated to the President the power to exclude any class of persons from entry.
And, in fact, Ryan's comments about separation of powers had NOTHING to do with immigration and we're made in a completely different context.
It's two different stories with nothing in common.
Why is Trump not holding a campaign rally for Nehlen? Ryan will stab Trump in the back at every opportunity. These people have a total lack of integrity.
I just had to write my congressman and tell him to shut Ryan up, and why.
This ‘separation’ ploy is the height of stupidity.
Congressmen care when their Speaker’s words anger their voters.
Meaning: We have all the things we wanted done by Obama now we are shutting it down. All those powers we said we didn't have, we now have re-discovered them.
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.>>> yes already the law is on the books. I have seen the Con Statute. We can Class any one and exclude them.
Was there a money quote where Ryan tied Trump specifically to the separation of powers dispute?
I know there is a REAL problem with Hussein on that issue, but much of this media hype that purports rivalry between Ryan and Trump seems contrived.
Every day it appears more and more to me like selfish Paul Ryan is trying to derail Trump in order to set up a Ryan presidential run in 2020.>>>. try 2016
Alright... I’ll see if I can muster up the energy and desire to be honest and amiable enough to do the same. My letters go directly to his personal device, so I try to not abuse that privilege.

After reading the link (it's short), and as you reread the Yahoo article, pay attention to what remarks are attributed to who. For example, the observation that Congress has the "rule of naturalization" (which is not the same as immigration) comes out of the reporter's head.
Not to say that Ryan and Trump don't have substantive differences, but this article invites the gullible reader to leap to certain conclusions.
Nothing the press reports about Trump, or Ryan, or any other republican, nothing is accurate. The press really is the most dishonest people in the world.
