Limiting the power of federal judges is a pet issue that President Trump has seized on as his administration faces a litany of lawsuits since he took office.

The House voted 219-213 along largely party lines in favor of the No Rogue Rulings Act, a bill that top Republican lawmakers have called a priority after numerous judges ruled against Trump's executive orders and policies used to implement his immigration crackdown and government downsizing initiatives.

The pace of nationwide injunctions by federal judges have increased under President Trump, with several courts ruling against the administration's actions on issues like federal funding or mass firings.
