In an interview with '60 Minutes' on CBS, Paul Ryan discussed a wide range of topics, including Donald Trump.

Paul Ryan recently discussed a range of topics during a '60 Minutes' interview on CBS.
In an excerpt released ahead of the broadcast on Sunday, the show's anchor, Scott Pelley, asked Ryan, "Have you told him being president is not being the CEO of the United States, that the congress is going to have a say?"
Ryan answered, “Oh, we’ve talked about that extensively...We’ve talked about the Constitution, Article 1 on the Constitution, the separation of powers. He feels very strongly actually, that under President Obama’s watch, he stripped a lot of power away from the Constitution, away from the legislative branch of government, and we want to reset the balance of power so that people and the Constitution are rightfully restored.”
Ryan’s relationship with Trump has not always been smooth. During the presidential campaign, he had distanced himself after a tape emerged of the businessman making lewd comments about women.
However, in the CBS interview, he commented, "...we are not looking back, we are looking forward...we speak about everyday."
Ryan also noted about Trump, "he was a very unconventional candidate, he is going to be an unconventional president."
