"We've looked at different ways to draft legislation. But we think that makes sense," Jordan said. "That’s something that we can look at doing and maybe even, you know, try to move fairly quick on that bill."
Another idea Jordan mentioned was taking those nationwide injunctions to stop presidential policies and providing an avenue for an expedited appeal to potentially get the order limited quickly.
The Ohio Republican also mentioned reintroducing legislation from the previous Congress, when Democrats controlled the Senate and White House.
One such bill by Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., would allow presidents or vice presidents involved in lawsuits or other prosecutions to move those cases to federal court, if they were in a lower circuit.
But Jordan said the measure would be widened beyond just those two roles.
"I think the bill we're looking at this year would say not just the president, vice president, but ‘federal official,’" he explained.

Jordan said his staff has been in consistent communication with Speaker Mike Johnson’s office about moving legislation to the House floor.
It comes after dozens of activists, left-wing groups and other entities filed myriad lawsuits against Trump’s executive orders during his first few weeks as president.
