Exclusive: House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said Republican lawmakers are preparing a series of legislation to curb the judiciary as the Trump administration fights multiple federal courts on its policies.
“Everything is on the table,” Jordan told Fox News numbers in an interview. “We hope it will be as helpful as possible.”
As an example, Jordan said he expected he would expect to vote on a bill proposed by R-Calif’s Rep. Darrell Issa. Local situation.

“We looked at different ways of drafting legislation. But we thought it made sense,” Jordan said. “It’s something we can see, and maybe, you know, try to do a pretty quick action on that bill.”
Another idea Jordan mentioned is to adopt these national bans to stop presidential policies and provide a way to speed up calls for quick access to order restrictions.
Ohio Republicans also mentioned that Ohio Republicans also mentioned the last Congress legislation when Democrats control the Senate and the White House.
A bill by Rep. Russell Fry would allow presidents or vice presidents involved in litigation or other prosecutions to move those cases to federal court if they are on the lower circuit.
But Jordan said the measure would be expanded beyond those two roles.
“I think the bill we’re going to look at this year will not only say the president, the vice president, but also say ‘federal officials’,” he explained.

Jordan said legislation that passed the House and Senate under former President Joe Biden may also revote.
The bill would add 66 new judges and passed the Senate last August, but the House was occupied by the House only after President Donald Trump won the election.
But unlike the Senate vote, most Democrats in the House do not support the bill. Biden vetoed it in January, one of his last major actions as president.
“Everyone thinks we need more judges. I think we will do that. We have legislation, and every Democrat who is backed by the Senate will allow the president to appoint these people in the next 10 years,” Jordan said.
“We brought it up, but after President Trump won the game, Democrats voted against it. So we’ll try to pass again and see if we can get the vote.”

Jordan said his staff had been in ongoing communication with Speaker Mike Johnson’s office about transferring legislation to the House floor.
It was in the midst of countless lawsuits filed by dozens of activists, left-wing groups and other entities in their first weeks as president against Trump’s executive orders.
