U.S. President Joe Biden will announce plans to reform the Supreme Court on Monday, Politico reported citing two people familiar with the matter, adding he was likely to back term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics.

Biden said earlier this week during an Oval Office address that he would call for reform of the court. He is also expected to seek a constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and some other officeholders, Politico reported, in the aftermath of a July Supreme Court ruling that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution.

Biden will make the announcement in Texas on Monday and the specific proposals could change, the report added.

This sounds like a good way to test absolute immunity for an official act!

How?

Just make an edict! Even if it bypasses Congress or the courts. If it's an official act they let you do it.

How do you compel them though? They didn't give the president ultimate powers, they just gave a way to break the law legally.
