[EL] Wisconsin Question re Paul Ryan

[Lowenstein, Daniel]

            This article by Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard suggests a significant possibility that Paul Ryan will seek the Republican presidential nomination.  http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/ryan-president_590273.html

I would not bet on it, but the possibility makes the following questions salient: Under Wisconsin law, can Ryan seek the presidential nomination and also be a candidate in the Republican primary as a candidate for reelection to the House?  If so and if he achieves both nominations, can he appear on the general election ballot as a candidate for president and as a candidate for reelection to the House?

Does anyone know the answers?
