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.

    First, you think they are just going to give straight year term limits and be done with it? They have people far smarter than us writing this shit. It’ll likely be some sort thing where each presidential term gets to pick a new judge, while making sure the longest serving is removed. I don’t know, I saw someone talk about a way that would ensure it’s fair and no partisanship can sustain generations.

    Also, the government will be affected, is what you wanted to say.

    To help remember the correct one using RPGs, you cast an effect on someone, which has an affect on them some how.
