President Biden proposes term limits for Supreme Court justices, a code of ethics, and a constitutional amendment on presidential immunity.
President Biden has proposed significant changes to the U.S. Supreme Court, including an enforceable code of ethics, term limits for justices, and a constitutional amendment to limit their decisions on presidential immunity. The proposals aim to address concerns about high court justices serving for life and maintain checks and balances in the judiciary system. Biden's term limit proposal suggests 18-year terms for justices, which he believes would make nominations more predictable and reduce the influence of a single president over the court for generations. However, the likelihood of these proposals passing a closely divided Congress is minimal.
