Biden rolls out plan to overhaul the Supreme Court

• President Biden unveiled a set of reform proposals to overhaul the Supreme Court including term limits for justices and a more binding ethics code.
• Biden is also calling for a constitutional amendment declaring that presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution for any crimes committed while in office, following the Supreme Court's July ruling granting Donald Trump immunity for "official acts" he committed as president.
• With just under six months of his presidency left, Biden said that overhauling the Supreme Court will be a priority.

President Joe Biden on Monday unveiled a three-pronged proposal to reform the Supreme Court, a policy area that he said will be a focus of his remaining months in office.

Biden is calling for term limits on Supreme Court justices, a binding ethics code and a constitutional amendment declaring that presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution for any crimes committed while in office.

That proposed amendment, titled the "No One Is Above the Law Amendment," responds to the Supreme Court's controversial ruling earlier in July that declared former President Donald Trump immune from criminal prosecution for "official acts" he committed as president.

Biden's proposed ethics code comes after several Supreme Court justices, including Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, were caught in scandals involving undisclosed financial gifts that posed major conflicts of interest.

Over the course of his administration, Biden has grown louder about his criticisms of the majority conservative high court, which has repealed federal abortion protections, limited the use of affirmative action in college admissions and struck down the president's student debt relief program.
