I see three proposals in this article.

1. Term limit the Justices of the Supreme Court
2. Create an enforceable code of ethics for the Justices of the Supreme Court
3. Amend the Constitution to remove the presidential immunity recently outlined by the Supreme Court

It looks like only one is looking for an amendment. The other two can be done with congressional legislation, right? And I’m not sure why codifying presidential immunity requires an amendment, except to make it bullet-proof in the future.

Not in this article is anything about changing the size of the SCOTUS, which has been done in the past.

Am I reading this right or wrong?
