The Facts

• Pres. Joe Biden on Monday in an opinion essay in The Washington Post called for three reforms to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) that he claims would "restore trust and accountability" to the court and democracy in the US.

• Biden says recent SCOTUS decisions that granted presidential immunity for actions taken while in office and overturned "settled legal precedents" prompted his calls. He also claimed that several justices are involved in scandals that compromise the "court's fairness and independence."

• First among Biden's proposals is the "No One Is Above The Law Amendment," which would prevent future presidents from claiming a constitutional right to immunity from federal criminal indictment, trial, conviction, or sentencing.
