Published September 7, 2016 3:13pm ET



House Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday that the House will soon announce disciplinary action against Democrats who conducted a floor protest in June, telling reporters, “Our goal and our job is to protect the institution.”

Ryan would not disclose the options or when they would be announced. Lawmakers are mulling, among the options, a rules change or a floor vote disapproving of their floor takeover, which lasted from June 22-23.
