Paul Ryan On Stopping Trump's Muslim Ban: We'll Sue Him!
TalkingPointsMemo ^ | 6/17/2016 | Tierney Sneed

Posted on 06/17/2016 9:03:03 AM PDT by lodi90

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.

“That’s a legal question that there’s 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.

He seems a lot more concerned about this than all of Obama’s illegal action on immigration.

I believe Donald Trump can beat the democrats or beat the Republican elitists.

But it will be an uphill battle to beat both of them at once and that is what he is facing.

I’m curious where the “Freedom” caucus is on Trump. They are quiet as mouses these days and defacto endorsing Ryan’s fragging of Trump. Apparently, beltway birds of feather....

WOOO! Like Trump has never been sued.

At least now Ryan's confirmed where his funding is coming from.

Ryan must be 100% certain of winning his primary, so no holds barred now.

Ryan is oh so brave because he knows the MSM have his back when he frags Trump. I don’t believe we’ve ever had such pathetic “leaders” in the history of our republic.
