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.

Didn’t Ryan win his primary?
Well what do you want me to say? :)
A towel boy sounds right for this SOB. Would at least get him off his knees from time to time.
If Speaker Ryan is suddenly concerned about Article 1, then I expect the Speaker to initiate and pass - this weekend - a War Powers Resolution to be placed for signing on Bobo's desk Monday morning, authorizing current US armed forces insertions in Syria & Afghanistan.Otherwise, STFU Ryan, you gymrat cheesehead...
“Besides, what RYAN says about Article I is true.”
Nope. The president has the authority to deny visas to anyone. So why are you trolling? Pulling the lever for Hillary?
Trump is about to not only remove the training wheels from Ryan's little bicycle.. I'd say he's going to put Ryan and several others into a permanently controlled "time out."
FU Wisconsin GOPe
Ryan is destroying himself but is too stupid to realise it.
He will never win the republican nomination for president.
Well said Doctor!
Well said Doctor!
Ryan is against us in every way.
So are most of the GOPe.
It’s way past time to sweep the trash out of DC.
Look on the bright side. If that happens, Hillary wins. When Hillary wins, we'll start seeing some of the GOPe NeverTrumpers start expiring or mysteriously disappearing. That's what always happens in a totalitarian regime. Anyone who knows too much and is in the Marxist's way must be dealt with.
Hey, NeverTrumpers... If your butt-hurt feelings manages to get Hillary elected, which of you will be made an example of about the wisdom of keeping your mouth shut about Herr HItlerly?
It won't be all of you, just a few, but I have to warn you: There will be about a dozen people out here in the Heartland who'll even give a rat's hiney about the mysterious disappearances of a NeverTrumper pantywaist. And that's being optimistic with the numbers.
No worries, though. It'll take a while for you to import enough terrorists & take enough guns for all this to happen. So enjoy your globalist money while it lasts.
Ryan’s opponent should flood Ryan’s district with this bs remark by Ryan:
Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan vowed today to stop Donald Trumps proposed temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the United States.
Ryan, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, said he he will, Sue any president that exceedis his or her powers.
For the record 47.2% of likely voters agree with Trump today that the US should temporarily stop all Muslims from entering the United States. 45.5% of likely voters disagree.
That number has increased by 13 points this month.

Now Ryan would sue those who oppose bringing in people who hate us and want to kill us. A poll just showed over 50% of AMERICAN Muslims want Sharia law.
Ryan is destroying himself but is too stupid to realise it.
He will never win the republican nomination for president.
Not stupid. Arrogant. He is so snug in his pampered beltway cocoon that he has no idea what is going on in flyover country.
The party of Lincoln is officially brain-dead.
"By any means necessary" Establishment Republican traitors to God, Country, and Family will steal and plunder their way to seating whomever patsy is willing to roll over for The Hag. And help destroy the planet's one last final hope in repelling the satanic NWO
We are witnessing Republican leadership in full support mode of the Cloward-Piven agenda, and all-in on a murderous Totalitarian One World Government -- led by the USA.
Listen to Levin he is still bashing Trump.
Used to be a huge admirer of Levin. He has proven to be a narcissistic phony and fraudulent traitor; The kind of person he used to regard with absolute disdain. Mark Levin has become who and what he hates. He is an utter disgrace to the legacy of the Founders, of whom he so often imagines himself a disciple.
Now? You're a surrogate of all things evil, Levin.
Im sure that number is shy by a factor of 5.
Ryan grew his faggoty looking beard to come out as a mohameedon. Theres no doubt in my mind.
If only 1% of these imported muslims are radical, that puts 200 of these so-called "lone wolfs", average, in each state. We've witnessed the damage 1 or 2 these "lone wolfs" can do.
The Uniparty/government complex is importing death to Americans. Paul Ryan has shown his true colors on the traitorous side he is on.
But like you say, it's probably much more than is being reported. I've been calling for tribunals for all this corruption for a long time and we definitely need to do so, to weed out the traitors in our government, and help get this country back on track.
FWIW, Americans investigating the corruption in our government is probably why they are fighting so hard to try to keep Trump out. The investigations and the penalties for said corruption, NEEDS to happen.
CGato
We have to start thinking about and planning for what action to take if the "Get Rid Of Trump at the Convention" current snowball begins to enlarge to an avalanche.
Oratory to oneself, PC posts and keyboard kommando-ing will NOT do the trick.
Across the fruited plain, a freep/conservative plan of ACTION will be called for, and we must be ready to fight back when called to the front!
Leni
I am addressing all Trump delegates to the convention. GIVE THIS BASTARD HELL!! And I don’t mean just alittle bit. He must be removed as chairman of the convention. We have the POWER to do that. Get him OFF THE STAGE!! ELECT ANOTHER REAL CONSERVATIVE AS CHAIRMAN OF THE CONVENTION!! I propose Newt!! Just make a motion and get it done. This traitor has to go. He has fallen into total disrepute.
Agree, Leni.
We also should prepare to Freep Hillary events.
These protests should not be a one way street.
Saw a guy in my development has a sign in his car’s back window that says “Arrest Hillary”.
The Class of ‘98 can still render service!
