Biden to call for Supreme Court changes, end to presidential immunity
  • In regards to term limits of Supreme Court justices, some say that only a constitutional amendment could enforce term limits, as current proposed legislation would be unconstitutional. They argue that the relegation of judges to a new form of senior status (described in past bill proposals) runs afoul to the constitutional provision allowing justices to serve "in good Behaviour", according to Article III Section 1. President Biden supports a system where a President would appoint a justice every 2 years and justices would serve 18 year terms on the Supreme Court.

  • House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • The Supreme Court ruling grants Trump immunity for his official actions as president, but not for private actions. This amendment by Morelle is in line with President Biden's view on the ruling, who argued that it places no limits on presidential power and effectively makes the president a king above the law.

  • Schiff says Biden has to ‘win overwhelmingly’ or pass the torch, adds VP Harris could win against Trump
  • A Jul 2 poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos had Kamala Harris losing to Donald Trump by 1 point (42% to 43%) if she were to replace President Biden. The only Democrat who would hypothetically beat Trump according to the poll is Michelle Obama, who would have an 11-point advantage over the former president. However, the former First Lady has expressed several times over the years that she will not be running for president.
