Court

President Biden is concerned about the Supreme Court and is suggesting some changes. He proposes term limits but the constitution says Justices serve lifetime appointments. This means a change in the constitution is needed and that requires two/thirds vote in both houses which is highly unlikely. VP Harris has suggested in the past, that the number of Justices be increased and congress can do that with a simple majority. This opens the door to all sorts of politics. Every time a president doesn't like the court he can ask congress to add more members. This would weaken the court to the point where it would just be another arm of the legislative branch.
