The Last Stand of Joe Biden: President Joe Biden, who has announced that he will not seek reelection due to concerns about his cognitive decline, is making a bold move in his final days in office. He is set to unveil a proposal for term limits for Supreme Court justices at an event in Texas today. Biden argues that the current system of lifetime appointments gives presidents too much power for too long. He suggests a new process where a president appoints a justice every two years for an 18-year term.
While Biden faces an uphill battle in getting this proposal approved, he is determined to push for change. The controversial nature of the reform and the need for congressional approval make it a challenging task. Despite the obstacles, Biden is determined to make his case. More details will be revealed once the proposal is officially announced.
“Now that I have honorably limited my government service to just 51 years, I think the proper limit for a position that is supposed to be lifetime should be 18 years. Rules start NOW!” https://t.co/lt5ENXgE0H
