Outgoing President Calls for DRASTIC CHANGE
Outgoing President Joe Biden is resigning and not seeking a second term. Many believe the reason has to do with significant cognitive decline. That does not mean he is not calling for drastic change. His proposals—term limits for justices, an enforceable code of ethics, and a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity—underscore a critical moment in American politics.
The proposal to require term limits at the U.S. Supreme Court and redefine presidential immunity, are things that should not be taken lightly, let alone pushed by a lame duck president, according to Kenin Spivak. Without examining the intentions behind term limits for justices, an enforceable code of ethics, and constitutional amendments to limit presidential immunity, several concerns suggest these reforms could have unintended negative consequences.
In addition to Biden’s calling for hugely significant changes to our Constitution and very system of government, he’s doing so at a time when he has chosen to step down.
Kenin Spivak, an author and lawyer who has tried cases in federal and state courts is also a writer for The American Mind magazine of the Claremont Institute. His experience in the courtroom and in the political world make him an ideal guest for this Supreme Court decision.
Spivak has also been closely following the social media case that will be decided by the Supreme Court Monday.
Welcome, Kenin.
