Biden to push for constitutional amendment next week to reverse Trump immunity decision: report
Biden promised to seek Supreme Court reform before he leaves office
By Chris Pandolfo Fox News
Published July 27, 2024 1:57pm EDT

President Biden is set to propose several changes to the U.S. Constitution on Monday to make good on his promise to reform the Supreme Court, according to a report.

In a reversal from the president's longstanding resistance to changes to the high court, Biden said on Wednesday that Supreme Court reform would be among his top priorities for the remainder of his term in office. Biden announced Sunday that he would not seek re-election after mounting pressure from Democratic Party officials who asked him to step aside after his widely panned debate performance in June.

The president is expected to propose setting term limits for justices on the Supreme Court, which would require a constitutional amendment, and establishing an enforceable code of ethics, which could be enacted by Congress, Politico reported.

Biden is also likely to voice support for a constitutional amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and certain other officeholders after the court ruled in July that presidents cannot be prosecuted for "official acts" during their time in office. The court's ruling stemmed from a case concerning former President Trump.

The framers of the Constitution intentionally made it difficult to amend. A two-thirds majority of both the House and the Senate needs to pass any proposed amendment, which is then sent to the states for ratification. It must be approved by three-fourths — 38 — of the 50 states to become the supreme law of the land.

"This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation," Biden said in public remarks after the court handed down its opinion.

Yep, these things take years or decades.   Doesn't it take 30 states voting and ratifying?

Good luck with that.  He should introduced the amendment to Congress first thing Monday.  Oops, forgot that he is taking yet another weekend vacation.  Maybe Monday afternoon or Tuesday.  He'll need 16 GOP Senators to go along.

Forgot than Biden has been declared 'mentally unfit to stand trial'. He is in the clear no matter what. Maybe that is why he is pushing this?

Nail on the head there.  Guess it takes 30 or so news cycles to forget how can the same person who is unfit to stand trial, is still able to be the Chief Executive of our country.

So he’s not competent to stand trial

He’s not competent to run for a second term

But he’s competent enough to push for constitutional amendments????

Just ridiculous grandstanding and wishcasting.  It has no chance of getting out of Congress with the heavy vote necessary much less submitted to the states for ratification.
