US president also to seek constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and various officeholders

Joe Biden will announce plans to reform the US supreme court on Monday, Politico reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, adding that the US president was likely to back term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics.

Biden said earlier this week during an Oval Office address that he would call for reform of the court.

He is also expected to seek a constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and some other officeholders, Politico reported, in the aftermath of a July supreme court ruling that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution.

Biden will make the announcement in Texas on Monday and the specific proposals could change, the report added.

    Okay I think I understand more about what you’re arguing for. Ethics with actual consequences, meaning removal. That makes worlds more sense.

    It feels good to be understood. I appreciate you.

    I agree with the entirety of the rest of what you’ve said. However, it assumes that the rest of the audience is as reasonable and committed to good faith as we seem to be. I’ve absolutely no issues expressing myself to a different audience. For example, if it was just you and I speaking in private then I’d believe it responsible, wise, and perhaps my obligation to society to say more.
