President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are advocating for significant reforms targeting the Supreme Court and presidential immunity, as detailed by a White House official. As part of the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, Biden is set to speak on proposed changes concerning the Supreme Court at the LBJ Presidential Library.
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Biden expressed his concerns about the current state of the Supreme Court, noting a decline in public trust due to ethics issues and decisions that overturn long-established precedents. He emphasized the need for reforms to ensure accountability and integrity within the Court.
Key proposals include implementing an 18-year term limit for justices, allowing for regular appointments every two years, and establishing a code of conduct that would mandate justices to disclose gifts, avoid political activities, and recuse themselves from cases with potential conflicts of interest.
Additionally, Biden’s reforms seek to remove the immunity currently enjoyed by former presidents regarding crimes committed while in office. This move aims to reinforce checks and balances on presidential power.
Vice President Harris has supported these initiatives, highlighting the current “crisis of confidence” in the Supreme Court resulting from recent controversies.
This policy push marks Biden’s first significant action after announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race earlier this month, with an intention to involve Congress and the public in restoring faith in democratic institutions.
