Could electing a speaker who didn’t seek the job fix Congress?

Petri’s successor and first-term congressman Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, said he is proud to support Ryan as his friend and mentor, highlighting the speaker’s “history of conservative leadership” as chairman of the Ways and Means and House Budget committees and 2012 vice presidential candidate.

“Moving forward on an issue such as that, that’s so controversial, I do believe that we need to get a consensus among our majority to proceed, so that was a direct response to a specific issue”, he said.

Fellow Republicans also showed support to the new House Speaker Paul Ryan according to Huffington Post.

Right-wing mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh on October 22 spun a wild conspiracy theory, claiming that Ryan’s ascension is part of “a script … written backstage”, between House moderates and the much-maligned Freedom Caucus for the objective of installing Ryan as Speaker for a Bush/Rubio Whitehouse.

In 2011, Obama castigated Ryan’s budget proposals during a fiscal policy speech – with the Wisconsin lawmaker sitting in the front row.

Speaker Ryan is installed as Congress’ most powerful member, and Warren will continue to set up shop in her usual spot each Tuesday to greet lawmakers and preach the gospel.

And yet, Ryan’s record on women’s issues extends well beyond that regarding paid leave policies. The legislation failed in the House. I’m talking about the people who mind the store and grow the food and walk the beat and pay the taxes and raise the family.

By November 20, Congress must act on the expiring authority for the federal highway program, an issue that also could lead to another flare-up of the expiration of the Export-Import Bank’s authority to issue new loan guarantees. “The committees should take the lead in drafting all major legislation”.

Boehner is expected to submit his letters of resignation – one to Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the other to Ryan – informing them he will resign his congressional seat effective 11:59 p.m. on October 31.

He said Obama is hopeful he and Ryan will be able to work together. Now, I know that sounds like process.

The move would put USA special forces troops in Syria for the first time in the campaign against the Islamic State.

Ryan, a disciple of former Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., has always been an expert in articulating a conservative vision in a way that evinces optimism and faith in Americans. For example, and in contrast to those who speak disparagingly of “free stuff” as an insurmountable political problem for the GOP, he has spoken and written about how government dependency and government control are most harmful to those whom they enmesh. Democrats and labor unions oppose the measure.

Ryan’s ascension came as Congress neared completion of a bipartisan accord to avert a jarring federal default next week and likely prevent a December government shutdown by setting spending levels for the next two years.

While Ryan’s interest in poverty has been lauded, it also has raised a few concerns among advocates because his budget proposals have called for deep cuts in vital social services, including those aiding poor people, children and the elderly.
