According to multiple media reports, President Joe Biden is seriously considering calling for major changes to the U.S. Supreme Court, including term limits for justices and imposition of an ethics code. The proposals also could include a constitutional amendment to eliminate the broad immunity for presidents and other federal officeholders — something the court recently upheld — according to the Washington Post, which was the first to report the news based on a transcript of a call between Biden and members of the U.S. House Progressive Caucus. Biden reportedly told the group that he has been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months to develop a plan. Any changes would need to be approved by Congress.
