FILE - In this July 12, 2016 file photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis. takes questions during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington.

That suggests an uphill path to deposing Ryan, who was his party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee and could harbor White House ambitions. () (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
