President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to unveil a dramatic Supreme Court reform next week in an attempt to overhaul the high court.
Two people familiar with the matter told Politico that the president is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices, and bring in a code of ethics.
The 81-year-old is expected to push for an amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and other officeholders.
His amendment would come directly after the court ruled that presidents are shielded from prosecution for officials acts, in a case brought by Donald Trump.
It is said that Biden will call for the overhaul while on a trip to Texas, where he is set to speak at the Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential library in Austin.
The White House declined to comment, referring to remarks earlier this week from his press secretary that he believes the SC should be 'held to a high ethics'
After the court ruled on Trump's immunity case, Biden called the decision 'dangerous' and said it would embolden Trump if the Republican is reelected.
He warned that the conservative-leaning court 'fundamentally changed' a bedrock principle of the nation.
Biden said: 'This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America.
'Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.
'This is a fundamentally new principle and it's a dangerous precedent. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.'
The Court's 6-3 ruling practically insured that Trump wouldn't face another trial before the November election.
Biden called the decision a continued 'attack' on 'wide range of long established legal principles,' pointing to the reversal of Roe v. Wade and controversial decisions on civil and voting rights.
