Joe Biden will announce support for sweeping changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, according to The Washington Post.
Biden will propose term limits for the justices and an ethics code which both need congressional approval.
Joe Biden also wants to reform broad immunity for presidents after the Supreme Court issued a ruling on immunity.
President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.
He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
The potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent ethics scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and decisions by the new court majority that have changed legal precedent on issues including abortion and federal regulatory powers.
"I'm going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I'm about to come out - I don't want to prematurely announce it - but I'm about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court. I've been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help," Biden said, according to a transcript of the call obtained by The Washington Post.
