Abstract

President Joe Biden criticized the conservative majority of the Supreme Court for its recent rulings and proposed new binding ethics rules and term limits for justices. He argued that these changes are necessary to restore accountability to both the presidency and the court. Biden specifically mentioned the court's decisions to overturn Roe v. Wade, weaken enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and grant some immunity to presidents for official acts. His plan also includes a constitutional amendment to allow former presidents to be tried for crimes committed while in office. However, the plan faces challenges in Congress and has been met with opposition from Republicans. [Extracted from the article]
