“I don’t want to get too technical, but in January our intention is, if we don’t fix it in the lame duck, is to fix it retroactively once a new session of Congress takes place,” Ryan said in response to a question from an attendee at the defense roundtable.
“Now, we believe that we have a procedural way in the Senate to advance that legislation very quickly and get it to the next president of the United States — who I believe is going to be Mitt Romney — to pass it into law and retroactively prevent that sequester from taking place in January,” Ryan continued.
Ryan was referring to legislation passed by the Republican-led House in May that would replace the defense cuts with reductions to food stamps and an array of other programs. The measure passed the
House with the support of 218 Republicans and no Democrats.
