Biden Proposes Supreme Court Reform Plan, Including Term Limits and Ethics Code

2024-07-29 325

President Joe Biden has proposed a three-part Supreme Court reform plan, which includes term limits for justices, a binding ethics code, and a constitutional amendment to prevent presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. This amendment, the "No One Is Above the Law Amendment," responds to a recent Supreme Court ruling granting former President Trump immunity for official acts as president. Biden's call for an ethics code follows scandals involving undisclosed financial gifts to Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Achieving these reforms will require congressional approval.
