Mike Pence in Fox News Sunday interviews during 2017

On Immigration: Travel ban is constitutional & judges shouldn't overturn it

PENCE: President Trump has made it clear that he is going to put the safety and security of the American people first. And the executive order that he signed suspending travel from countries that have been compromised by terror is consistent with that objective, and also it's consistent with his powers as president.

Q: But a federal court of appeals--

PENCE: We believe the judge made the wrong decision. We're going to continue to use all legal means at our disposal to stay that order and move forward to take the steps necessary to protect our country. We don't appoint judges to our district courts to conduct foreign policy or to make decisions about the national security. That authority belongs to the president of the United States.

On War & Peace: All options are on the table for Iranian nukes

PENCE: Well, all options are on the table. The Iranians will do well to look at the calendar and recognize that we've got a new president in the Oval Office. That disastrous nuclear deal that the last administration entered into with Iran should have encouraged better behavior by the Iranians. But instead, what we see, they're flouting U.N. Security Council resolutions, banning ballistic missile test or whether it'd be the way they're arming of Houthis in Yemen who just last week attacked a Saudi Arabian ship. What we're seeing here is hostile action, belligerent action being supported by or taken by the Iranians. And we're just not going to put up with it anymore.
