President Joe Biden is reportedly ready to unveil a proposal soon for new legislation that would set term limits for Supreme Court justices, implement enforceable ethics codes for the high court and potentially establish prohibitions on broad immunity for federal officers who vow to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including the president.

Details of the proposal are still largely under wraps, but The Washington Post reported that during a call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus on July 13, the president said he was “about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court.”

“I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months and I need some help,” he added, a transcript of the call obtained by the Post revealed.
