Biden Considers Term Limits And Ethics Code For Supreme Court

President Joe Biden is reportedly exploring proposals to introduce term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices and establish an enforceable ethics code, as per sources familiar with the plans. This potential move signifies a significant departure for Biden, who has historically resisted calls for high court reform but has recently expressed concerns about the court's departure from mainstream constitutional interpretation.

Any changes to the Supreme Court structure would necessitate congressional approval, which may be challenging in the current divided Congress. Biden's push for reforms could energize his supporters, especially in light of former President Trump's successful appointments of three conservative justices.
