U.S. President Joe Biden is set to announce plans to reform the Supreme Court on Monday, a report from Politico reveals. The reforms are expected to include term limits for justices and the introduction of an enforceable code of ethics.

During an Oval Office address earlier this week, Biden expressed intentions to call for a broader reform of the court. Included in his plans is a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at limiting immunity for presidents and certain other officeholders. This comes in the wake of a recent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed broad immunity for presidents.

Biden's formal announcement will take place in Texas, although specific details of the proposals may still be subject to change.
