US President Joe Biden has unveiled a sweeping proposal to reform the Supreme Court, calling on lawmakers to establish term limits and form an ethics code to restore trust and accountability in its nine justices.
The conservative-leaning court has become a political battlefield in recent years, with its nine justices - unelected and able to serve for life - playing a powerful role in American life on everything from abortions to the environment.
Mr. Biden has also called on lawmakers to pass a constitutional amendment limiting presidential immunity, a move which would reverse a recent Supreme Court decision.
Efforts to reform the court are unlikely to be passed by the US Congress.
Democrats, however, hope that pushing for reform can help galvanise voters ahead of the November 2024 election.
