President Biden proposed significant reforms to the Supreme Court, including a binding ethical code requiring justices to disclose gifts and recuse themselves from conflicts of interest, and a constitutional amendment to reverse legal immunity for sitting presidents. Most notably, he suggested implementing term limits, allowing justices to serve 18-year terms, with a new appointment every two years. This change aims to regularly alter the court's membership and ensure no single presidency profoundly influences the court's composition for generations. The proposal garnered strong support from progressive Democrats but faced criticism from Republicans, who viewed it as a political maneuver to control the Supreme Court. Critics argued that the term limits contradict the founding principles of judicial independence established by the founders, particularly Alexander Hamilton's views on the necessity of lifetime appointments to maintain the court's integrity against legislative encroachments.
