House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had voiced reservations

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, said he believes the revised order
will “pass legal muster.”
“I congratulate the administration for modifying the
original order to ensure that it is prospective in application,
protective of those with valid visas and legal status, and exempts
Iraqis, as five thousand Americans are currently fighting alongside them
against ISIL,” Graham said in a statement.
