Biden says Supreme Court’s ‘extreme opinions’ necessitate imposing new rules on justices

On Monday, President Joe Biden called for significant Supreme Court reforms and a constitutional amendment to limit presidential power.

Speaking at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, Biden proposed ending presidential immunity from federal criminal charges, implementing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, and enforcing strict ethics rules for the court, including financial disclosures and conflict-of-interest regulations.

These measures aim to restore trust in the judiciary and maintain democratic checks and balances, NBC News has reported.

Biden’s push for reform, driven by recent controversies and Supreme Court decisions, may face challenges in Congress, where previous efforts have been blocked by Republican opposition.
