Biden to propose constitutional amendment to overturn Trump immunity ruling, says report.

On Monday, President Biden will propose changes to the U.S. Constitution to reform the Supreme Court, as per a report.

Biden announced on 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. 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.

Politico reported that the president is predicted to suggest limiting the terms of Supreme Court justices, which would necessitate a constitutional amendment, and enacting a code of ethics for justices, which Congress can enforce.

Biden may also express support for a constitutional amendment that would restrict immunity for presidents and certain other officials, following the court's decision in July that presidents cannot be prosecuted for "official acts" while in office, which was based on a case involving former President Trump.

The Constitution's framers made it challenging to amend by requiring a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification from three-fourths (38) of the 50 states before it could become the supreme law of the land.

Biden stated in public remarks that the court's recent decision continues its attack on established legal principles in our country, including voting rights, civil rights, women's reproductive rights, and the rule of law.

The White House has not yet finalized the specifics of the proposal and it may still be subject to change, according to Politico. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

In an Oval Office address Wednesday, Biden stated that Supreme Court reform is vital to our democracy as he announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

In the following six months, I will remain committed to fulfilling my duties as president. This entails continuing to reduce expenses for working families, expanding our economy, safeguarding our individual liberties and civil rights, including the right to vote and the right to make choices. I will also persist in condemning hate and extremism, making it plain that such behavior has no place in America, full stop. Furthermore, I will continue to advocate for the safety of our children from gun violence and the preservation of our planet from the climate crisis, which poses an existential threat.

"I will continue to fight for my cancer moonshot and call for Supreme Court reform to ensure our democracy and maintain America's leadership in the world."
