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.
Thats a legal question that theres 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.

“... said Paul Ryan who fully funded 0bamas illegal Executive Amnesty and 0bamaCare.”
And Planned Infanticide, the Infernal Revenue Service and most recently, a State Department urging Obama to attack both sides in Syria, including the Rooskies.
Why hasn’t Ryan done something about Obama exceeding his power?
Who ever heard of a party rejecting the mandate of the voters?
The Uniparty has certainly exposed itself. The GOPe silence is deafening.
That’s what he’s trying to salvage.
Those is the party that do this need to be kicked out of it. Rinse Prewash needs to censure him!
BYE RYAN ....go AWAY
You should get out quickly
Pick the right replacement and do it now! Expect a lot of crap from Ryan and his buddies but face it ASAP.
This is trying to create division, folks. Article I Section 1 needs to be taken seriously.
Same article says Ryan acknowledges there is a debate about executive powers on immigration....
Did anyone see Reince Preibus' tweet yesterday? He was with Trump, traveling with him to Texas. He said the reports of disunity are exaggerated. I believe him.
This article and the idea behind it need not create division between Republicans, folks.
First of all, Article I Section 1 needs to be taken seriously.
Same article says Ryan acknowledges there is a debate about executive powers on immigration....
Did anyone see Reince Preibus' tweet yesterday? He was with Trump, traveling with him to Texas. He said the reports of disunity are exaggerated. I believe him.
Can he do that? That would be awesome. The Republican party is infested with Democrat operatives like Ryan and I would also be curious to know if Trump can throw punks like him out of the party.
That's OK. I'll do it for you:
That &@#*+!=£@&$ Piece of &"@>%¥#£+*#&$@ Ryan!!
Yep.
Ryan's role is as a termite, a saboteur, and pro-Sharia agent. He is eroding the foundation of support INSIDE AND OUT. Ryan also supports Hitlery Rodman Xlinton by default. Ryan is daring him in public on behalf of his fellow pro-tyranny establishment Republican globalists.
It's an audacious gamble. Trump doesn't really want to pull that trigger and start cleaning house before the Convention, but there is no choice in the matter; The sooner the better. The GOPe has made it clear that they will NOT support DT.
He will have to justify Ryan's ouster by reinforcing his, 'Making America Great Again!' slogan and also the notion that " A runaway gubmint gone amok with PC refuses to protect its sons and daughters as well as EVERY citizen. Such politicians neglect their sworn oath and duty to put the safety of We The People first."
If Ryan's ouster can be sold in that context (wile consolidating further public support), Trump can pull it off.
Its on.We have a traitorous governemnt that puts ahead their donors over the safety of the american people
Their is no GOP anymore. They are democrats and traitors
My thoughts precisely. A party that frags it’s own nominee to the benefit of the Butcher of Benghazi while 49 Americans lay dead in the street from terrorism does not deserve my support. This is treason. Plain and simple.
He’s a Democrat operative and Trump incredibly has Ryan exposing himself as such. This is exactly why Obama has been getting away with one act of treason after another, because we have Democrats posing as Republicans.
This is trying to create division, folks. Article I Section 1 needs to be taken seriously.

Did anyone see Reince Preibus’ tweet yesterday? He was with Trump, traveling with him to Texas. He said the reports of disunity are exaggerated. I believe him.
Nope. Speaker Ryan is giving near daily interviews to trash the presumptive nominee. If anyone is creating division it is Paul Ryan.
BTW, Have you seem GOP.com? Not one word about the presumptive nominee. Rinse’s actions do not match his words. Why would you believe him?
Hes a Democrat operative and Trump incredibly has Ryan exposing himself as such. This is exactly why Obama has been getting away with one act of treason after another, because we have Democrats posing as Republicans.
Ryan’s wife comes from a family of wealthy Democrats. He’s a beltway lifer who got his start under open borders fan Jack Kemp. Ryan betrays his true disdain for Main Street USA when he tried to cut vet pay in his budget while welfare queens got full payment. He is an elitist who intends to fire grassroots conservatives from the party and move it politically to the left. It’s no secret. The GOP wrote about their intentions to do this after the 2012 election. Trump is the roadblock to a more leftist GOP. Therefore, they have declared jihad on him.
Trump is not out trashing Ryan or Priebus, and apparently had the latter travelling with him yesterday.
Trump isn’t shy about attacking those who attack him, so why should I get worked up about Ryan?
Besides, what RYAN says about Article I is true.
Is there some court which will hear a suit to get this POS out of office. He is supposed to be leading the house, not running for office in 2020 over his parties candidate in 2016.
The republican members of the New World Order are planning to steal the nomination from the people and Trump and seat Cruz. Listen to Levin he is still bashing Trump.
Ryan needs to go.
If Ryan is planning of running for President some day he can just forget about it. This is leaving an odor in people’s nostrils that will not be forgotten.
