House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is working to address President Donald Trump\u2019s calls to impeach federal judges who block his policies while also aiming to limit their power without triggering politically risky removal votes.<\/p>\n

Under pressure from the White House, Johnson has backed legislation that would restrict the impact of a district judge\u2019s ruling, particularly injunctions. Trump and his allies have criticized judges who enforce nationwide measures that hinder his agenda, such as deportation bans or government shutdowns.<\/p>\n
Rep. Darrell Issa\u2019s \u201cNo Rogue Rulings Act,\u201d which Johnson supports, seeks to prevent federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. While Trump\u2019s administration has previously bypassed court rulings, speculation grows that he might eventually defy them. Meanwhile, some Republicans, including Reps. Andrew Clyde and Andy Ogles, have pushed to impeach judges, like James Boasberg, who blocked Trump\u2019s deportation policies.
