具有影响力的美国国会众议员保罗·瑞安说，如能得到共和党内所有各派的支持，他就愿担任众议院议长职务。目前共和党内部存在严重分歧。
瑞安星期二在国会山与共和党领导人举行会谈后对记者说，他要求本党同僚在星期五之前就他提出的几个条件做出决定。
此前，瑞安曾屡次表示对担任众议院议长不感兴趣。
本月早些时候，时任众议院议长贝纳被迫离职，此后这个职位一直空缺。
瑞安被视为唯一能获得共和党内各派支持的众议院议长人选。
现年45岁的瑞安有三个子女，他每星期都要离开华盛顿，与家人共度周末，这也是他向共和党提出的条件之一。其他条件还包括“家庭责任放在首位”。
Influential U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan says he will run for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, but only if he has the support of all factions within the badly splintered Republican Party.
Speaking Tuesday after meeting privately with Republican leaders at the U.S. Capitol, Ryan told reporters he is giving his colleagues until Friday to make a decision on his list of demands.
Ryan, who serves as the chairman of the House's main tax-writing committee, has repeatedly said he is not interested in serving as speaker.
The position came open earlier this month after current speaker, Congressman John Boehner, was forced out by the Freedom Caucus.
Ryan is seen as one of the only candidates who could draw support from disparate elements within the party.
The 45-year-old congressman and father of three, who leaves Washington every week to spend time with his family, also laid out several other requirements, including a stipulation that his "family commitments come first."
