In Capitol on Saturday to vote to reopen government. But the hallway is empty & door to House Floor is locked. Why won't @SpeakerRyan let us vote on the bipartisan Senate bill to fund government?

#TrumpShutdown harms Americans, stops Violence Against Women Act & hurts economy.

I am sure his hands aren't clean and Mueller will expose his complicity in the crime as well as cover up.

It makes it clear what the qualifications are. If something is not there, it doesn't matter. The founders probably assumed that people wouldn't elect a felon.

In any case, Ryan hasn't been convicted of a felony, so it's not relevant.
